I remember the first time I tried something similar to these spring rolls. I was visiting a little cafe tucked away in San Francisco's Chinatown. The lady who ran the place made this amazing wrap and told me about its history, and, I immediately knew I had to make it myself. After some trail and error I was able to replicate and make it my own. This isn't just another recipe; it's a way to connect with amazing flavors from all around the world. I honestly think, this might even be better than the original! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
The beauty of these spring rolls lies in their versatility. Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables, proteins (tofu, shrimp, or chicken work wonderfully), and sauces to create your own signature version. Are you a fan of heat? A dash of sriracha or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes will do the trick. Prefer something sweeter? Add a drizzle of honey to your peanut sauce. Get creative, and have fun with it! I think, this will turn out to be a very fun activity with friends.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Asian Slaw: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and edamame. If you don't have edamame, peas would work just fine.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option), grated ginger, and minced garlic. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Combine Slaw and Dressing: Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well to coat evenly. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is important; don't skip it!
- Prepare the Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Make sure its not too hot!
- Soften the Rice Paper: One at a time, dip a rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 5-10 seconds, or until it becomes pliable but not too soft. Be careful not to over-soak it, or it will tear.
- Assemble the Spring Roll: Lay the softened rice paper wrapper on a clean, flat surface (like a cutting board). Place a few spoonfuls of the Asian slaw in the center of the wrapper, leaving about an inch of space on all sides.
- Fold and Roll: Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom, like a burrito. Make sure to keep everything nice and snug!
- Repeat: Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining rice paper wrappers and slaw.
- Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, and warm water. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Asian Slaw Spring Rolls immediately with the peanut sauce for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped peanuts, if desired.
- Optional additions: Consider adding cooked shrimp, tofu, or chicken for added protein.
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
- Add cooked shrimp, tofu, or chicken for extra protein.
