I lived in Vietnam for a few years and during this time I battled with a serious obsession with plant-based spring rolls. So much so, that I started up my own vegan spring roll business with a local business partner there.
It was during this time that I mastered this particular fresh vegan spring rolls recipe. Whilst I no longer live in Vietnam or run this spring roll business, I do still make this recipe on the regular.

Servings: people
Ingredients:
Sauce
- 60 ml Peanut butter
- 60 ml Oat milk
- 1 Lime the juice
- 1 tbsp Tamari soy sauce
- Sriracha to taste
Spring Rolls
- 6 Spring roll wrappers
- 6 leaves of Lettuce
- 1 handful Fresh Thai basil or any other herbs
- 1/4 Pineapple
- 200 g Firm tofu
- 100 g Rice vermicelli noodles cooked to packet instructions
Instructions:
- Start by mixing the peanut sauce ingredients together in a saucepan
- Place the pan on a low heat and stir continuously until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the sauce turns into a smooth liquid
- Pour the sauce into a bowl and cool down in the fridge (you can add water to the sauce once its cooled down to reach your desired consistency)
- Prepare your spring roll ingredients by slicing thin strips of the pineapple and tofu
- Wash your lettuce and herbs thoroughly and allow to dry
- Place all your ingredients on a work surface so they are close to hand along with the rice paper, a bowl of water and the rice vermicelli noodles
- Wet one sheet of rice paper and place flat down onto a clean workspace
- Add in one lettuce leaf, herbs, noodles and arrange the sliced ingredients
- Bring in the sides of the rice paper so that they cover the edges of the ingredients and then tightly roll the paper away from you and tuck underneath, and roll over until enclosed (it should seal without any issues, if not wipe with a little more water)
- Repeat until you use up your ingredients
- Serve with your dip and enjoy!
