Salad Rolls w/ Spicy Peanut Sauce

You could stuff it with anything pretty much...





Ingredients:
Rice paper
Vermicelli
Green onions
Cucumber
Carrots

Peanut sauce:
Peanut butter
Soya sauce
Sriracha
Maple syrup
Hot water (to thin)

Directions: Cut to textures you like, I thinly sliced the fresh veg, cooked the noodles and rolled in rice paper. So easy! Just a little assembly line. The sauce (for one serving) was probably a tbsp peanut butter, 1 tsp soya sauce, 1/2 tsp maple syrup, tsp Sriracha squeeze some fresh lemon and a little hot water to thin. Taste and go (could add fresh grated ginger too...)
