Instructions:

Prepare Vegetables: Begin by combining daikon radishes, radishes, green onions, rice vinegar, Splenda sugar substitute, and serrano chili in a bowl. In another bowl, mix carrot, cucumber, fresh cilantro, and reduced sodium soy sauce. Cover each bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
-
-
Soften Rice Papers: After marinating, stir the vegetable mixtures once and drain any excess liquid. Next, pour 1 cup of warm water into a pie plate. Carefully dip rice papers into the water, one at a time, ensuring they are fully submerged. Place the softened rice papers on clean kitchen towels, making sure they do not touch. Allow them to soften until pliable.
-
Assemble Spring Rolls: Place approximately 1/4 cup of bean sprouts on each rice paper near the edge closest to you. Then, add one rounded tablespoon of each vegetable mixture on top of the sprouts. Fold in the ends of the rice paper, then tightly roll it up, starting from the edge nearest to you, until the entire paper is rolled. Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used up.
-
Chill and Serve: Once all the rolls are assembled, place them seam side down on a plate. Cover them with a damp towel to prevent drying out and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
-
Final Touches: Just before serving, cut each roll in half diagonally to create 12 pieces in total. Garnish the spring rolls with additional carrot strips and cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
These Veggie Spring Rolls are best enjoyed fresh, served with your favorite dipping sauce. They make for a stunning appetizer at brunch gatherings or a light and satisfying snack any time of day. Enjoy the crisp textures and vibrant flavors packed into every bite!
