Fresh flavorful mushroom and peanut spring rolls are packed with fresh herbs, tender shiitake mushrooms, and creamy peanut butter sauce. They offer a delicious blend of umami, nutty, and herbaceous flavors wrapped in a soft rice paper shell. Perfect as a light meal, appetizer, or snack, these rolls are naturally vegan and gluten-free when made with tamari.
Ingredients
For the Mushrooms:
- 1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon tamari
For the Spring Rolls:
- 4 ounces cooked rice noodles
- 4 rice spring roll wrappers
- 1/2 cup peanut butter sauce
- Fresh basil and mint leaves
- 1/4 cup microgreens
- Tamari (for serving)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Mushrooms: Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they become soft and lightly browned. Remove the skillet from heat and toss the mushrooms with tamari. Set aside.
-
Coat the Noodles: In a mixing bowl, toss the cooked rice noodles with the peanut butter sauce until they are evenly coated. This adds a rich, nutty flavor to the rolls.
-
Soften the Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 5 seconds until soft but still slightly firm. Carefully place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
-
Assemble the Rolls: Arrange a small portion of the mushrooms, peanut-coated noodles, fresh basil, mint, and microgreens in the center of the wrapper. Avoid overstuffing to ensure easy rolling.
-
Roll the Spring Rolls: Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then tuck the bottom flap over the filling. Roll tightly while keeping everything compact until the wrapper is completely sealed. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers.
-
Serve & Enjoy: Arrange the spring rolls on a plate and serve with extra tamari or peanut sauce for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
These spring rolls pair wonderfully with a side of extra peanut butter sauce, a light soy-ginger dipping sauce, or a refreshing cucumber salad. Enjoy them as a healthy snack, an appetizer, or a light lunch.
For extra texture, sprinkle the rolls with toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts before serving. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a day.
Enjoy your homemade mushroom & peanut spring rolls!
