Method
 

  1. Start by washing, cutting, and preparing the vegetables and herbs you’ll be using. Make sure everything is fresh and crisp for the best results.
  2. Next, according to the package directions, cook the 4 ounces rice vermicelli. Once cooked, rinse them in cold water to stop the cooking process and keep them from becoming mushy.
  3. Once the noodles are rinsed, gently toss them in 1 teaspoon sesame oil. This step helps prevent the noodles from sticking together and adds a lovely flavor.
  4. Now, it’s time to prepare the Thai Peanut Dressing. Whip it up according to your favorite recipe or use a store-bought version to save time.
  5. Divide the cooked noodles evenly between 4 bowls. Make sure each bowl has a generous portion of noodles as they will be the base of your dish.
  6. Add ¼ cup shredded red cabbage, shredded lettuce, julienned cucumber, and shredded carrots into each bowl. This will create a colorful and inviting presentation.
  7. Drizzle the Thai Peanut Dressing over the prepared bowls. Don’t be shy, as this step brings all the flavors together.
  8. Finally, garnish each bowl with minced green onions, fresh mint leaves, and cilantro for that extra pop of flavor and color.
  9. Serve immediately, and enjoy your beautifully crafted Spring Roll in a Bowl!

Notes

While it's best enjoyed fresh, you could freeze the cooked noodles and vegetables separately. Just make sure they’re well-packed to avoid freezer burn.
