Ingredients:

• 8 rice paper wrappers
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup julienned carrots
• 1 cup julienned cucumber
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/2 cup roasted almonds, chopped
• 1 orange, zested and juiced
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Water for soaking rice paper wrappers

Instructions:

To get the herbs and vegetables ready, wash them and cut them into thin, even pieces

Use a whisk to mix the orange zest, orange juice, almond butter, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl

This will make the Orange Almond Sauce

Put away

Spread warm water out in a small dish

Put one rice paper wrapper all the way into the water and hold it there for a few seconds until it softens

Taking the rice paper wrapper out of the water slowly, put it on a plate or a clean, damp kitchen towel

Cover the bottom third of the rice paper wrapper with shredded lettuce, julienned carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, and chopped roasted almonds

Leave some space on the sides

First, fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling

Then, roll it up tightly from the bottom, like you would a burrito

Always roll it up tight enough that the rice paper doesnt tear

Do the same thing again with the rest of the rice paper wrappers and filling

The Orange Almond Sauce goes well with the Vietnamese Vegetable Spring Rolls

Have fun with your tasty and healthy spring rolls
