🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while chicken is often more affordable.

rice vermicelli

🥗Healthier: zucchini noodles

💰Cheaper: cabbage strips

Zucchini noodles lower carbs, and cabbage strips are budget-friendly.

peanut sauce

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

Sunflower seed butter is nut-free, and soy sauce is a cost-effective alternative.

mint leaves

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: parsley

Cilantro offers a fresh flavor, while parsley is widely available.

Soak rice paper in warm water until pliable, about 10-15 seconds.

Lay the soaked rice paper on a clean surface.

Place a few shrimp, rice vermicelli, lettuce, mint, and basil in the center of the rice paper.

Add thinly sliced cucumber and carrots on top of the filling.

Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, tucking it in tightly.

Fold in the sides of the rice paper, then roll it up from the bottom to the top.

Repeat with remaining ingredients until all rolls are made.

Serve fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce for dipping.
