Simple Spring Rolls + Ginger Almond Sauce

For years it never crossed my mind to consider making my own spring rolls. I’m not sure why. Then one day a couple years ago I was out at one of my favorite Thai restaurants and ordered the rice paper rolls, and they were JUST. SO. GOOD. And better yet, they seemed so simple that it dawned on me I could make these at home! Whoop! So I did just that, and now it’s on regular rotation in my recipe repertoire.

I know I’m not winning any creativity points with this post, BUT I think sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of the healthy, simple, fresh and delicious meals we can make at home but often forget about.

While good anytime of year, these rolls are most perfect in the summer; light yet filling, no hot ovens or stoves required. Just slice up your choice of veggie fillings, soak your rice wrapper for 30 seconds, fill it up and roll! Done, and ready in about 20 – 30 minutes (depending on how many you make).

I like to eat my wraps with homemade ginger almond dipping sauce, or sometimes I also have sweet chili sauce and sriracha on the side to mix things up. I like variety and having different sauces every couple of bites.

It may take you a few times to get the hang of the process of knowing how much filling to use without it being too much or too little, or getting the wraps to roll nicely – but once you do it’s quite easy. Plus it’s totally ok if they don’t look beautiful – who cares? It will still taste delicious!
