Instructions
Creating Easy Spicy Noodle Spring Rolls with Chili Lime Sauce is simple and enjoyable! Follow these steps:
1. Prepare Noodles: Cook gluten-free noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
2. Chop Vegetables: While the noodles are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Shred carrots, julienne cucumbers, slice bell peppers, and chop herbs.
3. Make Chili Lime Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the chili sauce, lime juice, fish sauce or soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic until well combined. Adjust the taste as necessary.
4. Soften Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, until softened. Remove and lay it flat on a clean surface.
5. Assemble Spring Rolls: Place a small amount of cooked noodles in the center of the softened rice paper. Layer on shredded carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, bean sprouts, and a few herb leaves. Optionally, add avocado slices for creaminess.
6. Roll: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling. Starting from the bottom, roll tightly to enclose the filling, like wrapping a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
7. Serve: Arrange the spring rolls on a serving platter. Drizzle with the chili lime sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
