The sun is slowly showing off the heat and I can feel that Summer will be a cracker!
Meanwhile, I’m warming up to the high temperatures we have in Queensland and preparing something I don’t usually eat much at all. However, I thought it would be a nice thing to try and what a surprise! Another household favourite to add to my list.
I present you my Thai Style Vegan Rice Paper Rolls:
My boyfriend loves all things Asian (read: food) so when I made these bad boys, he wanted more. Quite literally, the next day he was ready to buy all the ingredients to make more Rice Paper Rolls. So to avoid disappointments, I bought some extra ingredients, to make a few more rolls for lunch the next day. Hopefully, it will be enough to suffice his hunger.
Also, I love just how versatile this recipe is. You can add your favourite veggies or replace something you are not very fond of too. Plus, this recipe is gluten, dairy and nut free (if you omit the sauce). Being it an easy and quick dish to make, this is a crowd pleaser and perfect to serve to your guests.
In addition, to being super easy to make, these Rice Paper Rolls are also great to make ahead and have them ready for whenever you need them. Take your sauce with you and just dip it and eat it.
Take your creativity to the next level and get chopping to create your favourite veggie combination.
