How to Make Summer Rolls

shrimp

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while chicken is often less expensive than shrimp.

rice vermicelli

🥗Healthier: zucchini noodles

💰Cheaper: spaghetti

Zucchini noodles are lower in carbs, while spaghetti is often more affordable.

peanut sauce

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

Sunflower seed butter is nut-free, and soy sauce is a budget-friendly dip.

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

Lay the softened wrapper on a clean surface.

Place a few shrimp, a small handful of rice vermicelli, and a few leaves of lettuce in the center of the wrapper.

Add mint, basil, cucumber strips, and carrot matchsticks on top of the other ingredients.

Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.

Repeat the process with remaining wrappers and ingredients.

Serve with peanut sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, and sliced chili for dipping.
