Thai Rice Paper Rolls Recipe (Fresh Spring Rolls)

Easy Thai rice paper rolls with crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and optional noodles. Flexible fillings, no cooking required, and perfect for warm days or light meals.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pack fresh rice paper
• rice vermicelli (optional, add to taste, cooked according to package)
• 1 carrot (shredded)
• 1 lettuce (finely chopped)
• 4 green onions (sliced into 1-inch sized pieces)
• cilantro (to taste)
• mint (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Slice all vegetables thinly and prepare your herbs and optional protein. Keep everything bite-sized and within reach for easy rolling.
2. 2If using noodles, cook rice vermicelli according to package directions. Drain well and let cool completely. Toss with a little garlic oil or crispy fried garlic if desired.
3. 3Fill a shallow dish with lukewarm water. Set up a rolling surface (like a cutting board) and arrange all fillings nearby.
4. 4Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds, until just soft. Lay it flat on your board.
5. 5Add fillings in the lower third of the wrapper: vegetables first, then noodles and herbs, plus shrimp, tofu, or chicken if using.
6. 6Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll upward gently but firmly like a burrito.
7. 7Repeat with remaining wrappers. Keep finished rolls covered with a damp towel while working.
8. 8Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
