# Components:

→ Spring Rolls

01 - 8 rice paper wrappers, 8.7 inches diameter
02 - 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin strips
03 - 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
04 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
05 - 1 small cucumber, julienned
06 - 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
08 - 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
09 - 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
10 - 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves

→ Sweet Chili Sauce

11 - 0.33 cup sweet chili sauce
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
13 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
14 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, optional

# Method:

01 - Peel, pit, and slice mango into thin strips. Peel, pit, and slice avocado. Julienne carrot and cucumber. Slice red bell pepper thinly. Shred purple cabbage. Arrange all prepared vegetables, mango, avocado, and fresh herbs on a platter for efficient assembly.
02 - Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10-15 seconds until pliable, being careful not to oversoak. The wrapper should remain slightly firm for handling.
03 - Lay the softened wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board for stability during filling and rolling.
04 - Arrange small portions of mango, avocado, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, cabbage, and a few leaves each of mint, cilantro, and basil in the lower third of the wrapper. Distribute filling evenly without overstuffing.
05 - Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling. Tuck in both sides and roll tightly upward to form a compact spring roll with sealed edges.
06 - Repeat the soaking, filling, and rolling process with remaining rice paper wrappers and available filling ingredients until all components are utilized.
07 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, fresh lime juice, and soy sauce or tamari until well combined. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
08 - Arrange completed spring rolls on a serving platter and present immediately alongside the sweet chili dipping sauce for optimal texture and flavor.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in under 30 minutes with zero cooking, perfect for when you want something fresh but impressive without heating up the kitchen.
  • The combination of textures and flavors is genuinely addictive—creamy avocado, sweet mango, crisp vegetables, and that herbaceous punch all in one bite.
  • Once you nail the rolling technique, you'll find yourself making these for every gathering because people can't stop eating them.
02 -
  • Rice paper wrapper temperature matters more than you'd think—lukewarm water will leave them too stiff, while water that's too hot makes them impossible to handle without tearing.
  • The filling-to-wrapper ratio is crucial; too much filling and you'll struggle to roll, too little and you lose the satisfying bite you're after.
  • Avocado oxidation is real, so slice it just before assembly and consider a light squeeze of lemon juice if you're not rolling immediately.
03 -
  • If you want to add protein, thin strips of marinated tofu or tempeh integrate beautifully without throwing off the balance of fresh vegetable flavors.
  • Don't feel locked into these exact herbs—Thai basil or parsley work wonderfully if you prefer, or use whatever looks best at the market that day.
