An easy homemade and healthy Vietnamese Spring Roll with a delicious peanut butter dipping sauce. Loaded with vegetables and protein, these are packed with nutrition and the sauce is delicious.
There is little than I love more than a good Vietnamese dish. Our short time living in Seattle exposed us to many different types of Asian cuisines that weren’t as common on the East Coast. We fell in love with Thai and Vietnamese dishes – especially spring rolls. We developed a vegan and plant based friendly version of this to include all of the taste, but reduced calories and more vegetables packed into these fantastic little rice paper wraps.
These are made quickly and easily on a weeknight and will please all food preferences and restrictions. Additionally, the tofu and sauce can be exchanged to meet peanut or soy related issues.
