California Fresh Rolls

These veggie-packed fresh rolls are filled with creamy avocado, crunchy carrots, celery, red pepper, and basil.

Ingredients

  • 1 400g package of rice paper round sheets
  • 8 cups of hot water in a large bowl or shallow pan to soak the rice paper sheets in
  • 1 ripe yet firm avocado sliced into 12 slices
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup thin julienne carrots
  • 1/2 cup thin julienne celery
  • 1/2 cup thin julienne red pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup cooked vermicelli rice noodles
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lime juice

 

Instructions

  • Take all the ingredients except the water, rice paper, and avocado slices and place them into a large mixing bowl. Mix till all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • Take one sheet of rice paper and soak it in the hot water for about 2 min or until soft. Remove from water and place on a towel (the towel soaks up extra water and makes it a little easier for rolling).  Next, take about 1/4 cup of the mixture and place it in the center of rice paper.  Add 1 slice of avocado and then bring the edge closest to you over the mixture and pull it back towards yourself.
  • Tuck each side of the rice paper towards the center so when rolled it will seal the ends. Then roll the end away from you and you have a nice fresh roll. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or just as is. I like a nice sweet and spicy chili sauce or Sriracha sauce.
