Ingredients:

- Fresh mint leaves

- Cooked and cooled lean protein (chicken, tofu, or shrimp)

Instructions :
- Gather the Nutrient-Rich Components: Before you begin assembling your spring rolls, ensure that your vegetables are sliced, julienned, and ready to go. Cook and cool your chosen lean protein, whether it’s chicken, tofu, or shrimp. Have your rice vermicelli noodles cooked and ready as well.
- Prep the Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable. Gently place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
- Compose Your Rolls: Arrange a few mint and cilantro leaves in the lower part of the rice paper. Add a small portion of each ingredient, layering the julienned carrots, cucumber, bell peppers, red cabbage, cooked protein, and rice vermicelli noodles.
- Roll It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling. Begin rolling from the edge closest to you, tucking and tightening the roll as you go to create a snug cylinder.
- Include a Creamy Touch: For those seeking healthy fats, consider adding a few slices of avocado to the center of the roll before completing the folding process.
- Seal and Present: Use a bit of water to moisten the edge of the rice paper wrapper, ensuring it seals well. Place the finished roll on a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
- Dip into Flavor: Create a wholesome dipping sauce by blending low-sodium soy sauce with a hint of honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This dipping sauce not only adds an extra layer of taste but also amplifies the nutritional profile of your rolls.
