What you will love about these

Classic and fully gluten free: These spring rolls recreate the fresh, delicate taste of traditional summer rolls while avoiding gluten-containing wrappers and sauces. They’re a reliable gluten-free option for anyone who misses that familiar flavor.

Versatile accompaniment: Enjoy them on their own for a light meal or serve alongside dishes like jasmine rice or gluten-free ramen for something more filling. They pair well with many Asian-inspired mains and soups.

Top tip: Experiment with dipping sauces. Peanut sauce, spicy peanut, tamari, or sweet chili all complement these rolls—just be sure the sauce you choose is gluten free.

What you need

Only a handful of ingredients and about ten minutes are required to make fresh spring rolls at home.

Rice Paper

Use rice paper (rice flour) or tapioca flour wrappers instead of wheat-based flour wrappers to keep these rolls gluten free. Rice wrappers are the most common and easiest to find.

Fresh Mint

About ½ cup of fresh mint leaves adds a bright, aromatic note that lifts the vegetables and makes each bite refreshing.

Cooked Chicken or Cooked Shrimp

Protein is optional. Thinly sliced cooked chicken or shrimp are traditional additions, but you can omit them to keep the rolls vegan or substitute tofu for a plant-based option.

Let’s make them

Fill a shallow dish with about an inch of warm water. The water should be warm enough to soften the rice paper quickly.
Dip one rice paper into the water for roughly 20 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable, then lay it flat on a plate.
Place a few mint leaves, some matchstick carrots, cucumber strips, and optional protein near one edge. Fold the short sides in, fold the near long edge over the filling, then roll up tightly like a burrito. Repeat for the remaining wrappers.

Simple, fresh, and fast!
