# What You'll Need:
→ Spring Rolls
01 - 8 rice paper wrappers, 8.7 inches diameter
02 - 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin strips
03 - 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
04 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
05 - 1 small cucumber, julienned
06 - 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
07 - 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
08 - 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
09 - 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
10 - 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
→ Sweet Chili Sauce
11 - 0.33 cup sweet chili sauce
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
13 - 1 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
14 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, optional
# Steps to Follow:
01 - Peel and slice the mango into thin strips. Peel, pit, and slice the avocado. Julienne the carrot and cucumber. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and shred the purple cabbage. Pick the fresh mint, cilantro, and basil leaves. Arrange all prepared vegetables, mango, and avocado on a platter for streamlined assembly.
02 - Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable, being careful not to oversoak. Remove and lay the softened wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
03 - Arrange a small amount of mango strips, avocado slices, julienned carrot, cucumber, sliced bell pepper, shredded cabbage, and a few leaves each of mint, cilantro, and basil in the lower third of the wrapper, leaving space on the sides for rolling.
04 - Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, tuck in both sides firmly, and roll tightly toward the top to create a secure, cylindrical spring roll. Repeat the hydration, filling, and rolling process with remaining wrappers and ingredients.
05 - In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, fresh lime juice, and soy sauce or tamari until well combined. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Set aside for serving.
06 - Arrange the completed spring rolls on a serving platter and present immediately with the sweet chili dipping sauce on the side for optimal texture and flavor.
