These Rainbow Veggie Rice Paper Rolls are crisp, colorful, and naturally vegan. Filled with raw veggies like carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and avocado, they’re wrapped in softened rice paper and served with a savory hoisin-peanut dipping sauce. No cooking required—just prep, roll, and enjoy. Perfect for lunch, meal prep, or as a refreshing snack.
Fill a large shallow dish or bowl with warm water. Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, dip it into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens. Be careful not to over-soak, as the wrapper can become too delicate to handle.
Lay the softened rice paper wrapper on a clean, damp surface (like a cutting board or kitchen towel). Place a small handful of spinach or mixed greens in the center, followed by a few strips of each vegetable.
Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly, like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
Make the Sauce and Serve:
In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, peanut butter, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Gradually add warm water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Sprinkle with mixed sesame seeds.
Arrange the rice paper rolls on a platter and serve with the hoisin dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
Don’t over-soak the rice paper—10 to 15 seconds is enough to soften it.
To make ahead, store the finished rolls between damp paper towels in an airtight container for up to 6 hours.
Hoisin sauce can vary in thickness—adjust with warm water until smooth and dippable.
