If you are looking for a light snack (or even dinner), these Fresh Vegetable Rolls will be perfect. They are filling and perfect with Peanut Sauce.
Before anything else, allow me to share a story…
While I was in the Philippines for vacation, I ordered foods from two different online sellers. The first ones were pizza and milk tea, and the other one is fresh vegetable rolls. The pizza and milk tea were ready, but my last order was not. The seller told the delivery guy that I have to wait for 30-45 minutes more. And all orders will be delivered once the last order is completed. So, I ended up cancelling the fresh vegetable rolls.
When my vacation was over, I couldn’t stop thinking about the vegetable rolls. Just before I got back to my normal routine – work-home-work, I made them myself.
Surprisingly, I loved them – crunchy, fresh (perfect for summer, especially), and yum! I enjoyed them with my homemade Peanut Sauce.
NOTES ON FRESH VEGETABLE ROLLS:
- You can omit the crab sticks and ground peanuts if you are not a fan. Or add cooked/steamed shrimps, fried tofu, etc.
- There are also more options for veggies like red cabbage.
- These can be made one day ahead, but the texture of the wrapper may very slightly change a bit.
- I didn’t put measurements of the veggies and mango because it depends on how much you’d like to use.
- If peanut sauce is not your thing, you can Google other dipping sauces for more options.

Fresh Vegetable Rolls
Ingredients
- 7-10 crab sticks cut into strips
- Cucumber cut into strips (see notes)
- Ripe mango cut into strips
- Carrot peeled and cut into strips
- Lettuce
- Ground peanuts see notes
- Dry rice paper I used 4-5
- Peanut sauce (recipe in the notes below)
Instructions
-
Make sure to prepare veggies, mango and crab sticks first.
-
Soak rice paper in water for 20-30 seconds or until pliable. Place the soaked rice paper on a flat surface.
-
Place lettuce on top of the rice paper, then add your cut veggies, mango and crab sticks. Add ground peanuts on top (if using).
-
Pull the rice paper from the sides on the way to the middle. Then pull the rice paper again away from you on the way to the middle. (Or you can start from the side closest to you, then the ones from the sides.) Continue rolling until the roll is completely wrapped while doing your best to keep the fillings compact.
-
Repeat the process, depending on how many rolls you want to serve.
-
Serve with Peanut Sauce.
