Vegan salad rolls

I have made these countless times now, and each time I do make them I get raving reviews from everyone who gets to taste their deliciousness. 

I decided that it might be a nice idea to give everyone a how-to so that you are able to make these at home, all the time! Like me. 

1. Collect all of you ingredients. If you're anything like me this is not something that you do beforehand and will more than likely just wing it as you go. Don't! In order for these to work right you want to have everything prepared and ready to go (like an assembly line). 

To fill my rolls I use: lettuce, carrots, cucumber, peppers, bean sprouts, avocado, and vermicelli. Then for the wrap I use rice paper.

All of this can be bought at local grocery stores. Vermicelli and rice paper will be in the Asian food section!

2. Chop everything up into little strips, or... if you're lazy (like me) get the lettuce and carrots already pre-shredded. Bad for the environment because its extra packaging, but I really can't be bothered to shred it all myself a good chunk of the time - I am a student and I really don't have a lot of extra time! 

3. Once you have everything chopped, cook your noodles and start warming a frying pan of water for the rice paper (do not put the rice paper in yet!) Once the noodles are cooked, put them back in the pot and have everything else ready to go, and now you can assemble!

4. Take one of the pieces of rice paper and put it into your frying pan of warm water for about 30 seconds, it should be pliable and slippery. Take it out and then load on your vegetables (work fast!) Then you simply roll the whole thing up like a burrito. It took me awhile to get them perfect, and not ripped or stuffed to much. Practice makes perfect. 

                             

I really hope that this made some sort of sense to you, I am terrible with step by step, especially now that I can do these bad boys in my sleep! For those followers who are not vegan I have seen people add chicken or shrimp, just add fewer vegetables if your planning on throwing some meat in there. For the dipping sauce, I just use sweet chili sauce, or hoison sauce (watered down). They are delicious, quick and so filling! 

Until next time, be well.
