Summer Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Summer Rolls with Peanut Sauce (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free)
Makes 8 rolls
1 package of small round rice wrappers (dry)
1 1/2 cups of thin vermicelli rice noodles, cooked, drained and refrigerated to 20 minutes.
1 1/2 cups of bean sprouts
1/2 cup of freshThai basil, chopped
1/2 cup of fresh coriander, chooped
1/2 cup of shredded carrot
3 green onions, chopped finely
2 Tbsp of wheat-free/gluten-free soy sauce
1 Tbsp of rice vinegar
1 Tbsp of fish sauce (or if vegetarian, another Tbsp of soy sauce)
1 Tbsp of honey
Additions: 1 cup of cold – cooked shrimp, cooked turkey, cooked tofu, fresh mango or mint – and just about any other yummy thing you can think of (for these rolls, I added shrimp).
- In a large bowl, mix together gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce and honey.
- Add all ingredients for the fresh rolls into the large bowl and toss the mixture around, coating it with the sauce.
- In a large dish, add hot water (not boiling). Submerge a clean towel in the water.
- On a flat surface, lay a dry rice wrapper and place the hot towel on top. Allow 30 sec – 1 minute for the wrapper to soften completely.
- Lift wrapper up and place on clean working surface or dish. In the meantime, place another dry rice wrapper under the hot towel to soften.
- Begin to fill the first wrapper with 2 Tbsp of filling mixture – spread horizontally.
- As shown in the above image, fold in the top and the bottom of the wrapper first, then roll in the sides. You can use a dab of water to seal the wrapper in place.
- Put prepared Summer rolls on a serving platter as you make them. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
2 Tbsp of gluten-free soy sauce
1 teaspoon of freshly minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup of all natural peanut butter (the kind your health food sells in a giant bulk bin!)
3 Tbsp of water
2 Tbsp of honey
1 lime, juiced
- In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together. Use a fork at first and then a spoon.
- This makes a thick sauce, if you would like a thinner sauce, add more water and lime juice.
- Perfect for dipping your Summer rolls in!

I love and do rice rolls quite a lot, beause they’re not only simple, but very fresh and delish esp for summer, and very versatile too as I can stuf whatever I want into these rolls (: I love your thai take on it!
Delicious and exquisite rolls 😀
Cheers

Now that I actually know how to proceed, I’m definitely going to be making them more often…and like you said, the options are endless!
Thank you Tina! Glad to read you are feeling better 🙂
These look so good!! I want them for dinner tonight! 🙂

I think your pictures look great. I used to eat these on very hot days in Paris. I was a broke student. They were cheap, quick, and not hot.
These look so good! Thanks for sharing!
I made these (vegetarian) a couple of months ago and I was surprised at how yummy they turned out, though the wrapping part has a trick to it 😉
Hahaha, thanks Jayme – I want them for dinner again too!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by today 🙂
I appreciate that Emily – I wasn’t too sure about my pictures when I was taking them, but the overcast light ended up dancing off of some of the bright colours. I agree, affordable and refreshing for a Summer’s dinner 🙂
I love all variations of these rolls and can’t wait to try some with mango and mint – like my sister made for me once. But, yeah – the rice wraps are tricky, but once I got the flow going, it worked well.
Thanks Shu Han, these are exactly similar to ones I had at a Thai restaurant and that’s what inspired me. Looking forward to ‘stuffing’ them with more options soon! 🙂
mmmmmm…. ginger! love that flavor in just about anything! Thanks for the inspiring pics, too!
mmmm – i haven’t made peanut sauce in ages! now i am craving some. yummy.
I have a GFCF kidlet, so I’m all over this! Plus, there’s shrimp in there…can’t resist! :>

Hi Morgan! Thanks for coming by today – I’m glad you found my pictures inspiring and I’m with you; ginger is so tasty 🙂
Hi Susan, nice to have you stop by! Ever since I made this earlier this week, I can’t stop thinking about the sauce…definitely going on next week’s menu 🙂 Have a lovely weekend!
I’m glad you can use this recipe for your kiddo. I know allergies and food intolerances can be tough and finding creative recipes can be even harder. Hope you like this one!
I LOVE summer rolls. I switched over from egg rolls years ago and never looked back! Great pictures and beautiful rolls.
Thanks Erica, hope you enjoy it 🙂
Wonderful, than I’m sure he’ll fall for these! Thanks for coming by, off to check out your blog!
Loving this. That peanut dipping sauce recipe sounds amazing I am definitely going to have to try it. xo
A few tips…Once they were rolled, I let them dry a little on parchment paper and then put them in the oven at 250* just until they were dried out (hard on the outside). This makes them much easier to eat.
Also, I used the magic bullet to get my peanut sauce smooth!
SOOO Delicious!
Great recipe!
