Instructions

  • For the Spring Rolls:
  • Cook rice sticks according to instructions on the packet.
  • The kind we bought soaked in warm water for 60 minutes, so this is what we did first.
  • While the rice sticks are soaking/cooking, make the steak.
  • In a large wok over high heat, add the vegetable oil, then add the garlic.
  • Add the sliced beef, give it a quick stir, then add in all the seasonings and cook until beef is done. Set aside.
  • Once ready to assemble, prepare an assembly line with the rice paper, veggie mixture, cooked noodles, and beef.
  • Fill a large pan half way with hot water and place over medium heat on the stove.
  • Set a clean cutting board on the counter close to your assembly line.
  • Take a sheet of rice paper and dip into the hot water for about 20-30 seconds, moving it around so the entire wrapping is soaking with water.
  • Try to keep both hands on at all time, as it sticks to itself very easily.
  • Place the wet wrapper on top of the cutting board.
  • Starting at the bottom of the wrapper, add a handful of veggies, top with another handful of noodles, then top with a couple pieces of cooked beef.
  • If making a vegetarian version, or just adding the avocado and mango, add these now or instead of the beef.
  • Fold the bottom of the wrapper with the fillings up, making sure to be firm making it nice and snug.
  • Then fold the outer edges towards the middle, and roll the bottom of the wrapper all the way so it is wrapped completely.
  • For the Dipping Sauce:
  • Mix all ingredients together in small bowl except peanuts, until sugar dissolves. Top with crushed peanuts.
