Life is like a R<\/span> A<\/span> I <\/span>N<\/span> B<\/span> O<\/span> W<\/span> and so are these summer rolls.<\/p>\n

With just about every the color of the rainbow wrapped up in one cool, crisp, refreshing, flavor-packed, and vivacious package, there's much to love about these summer rolls. Have yourself a good look at these vibrant beauties. . .<\/p>\n

It's been\u00a0three long years since I last shared a recipe for summer rolls (these\u00a0spring <\/a><\/em>rolls don't count), and that's three years too many in my book.<\/p>\n

As promised, these summer rolls put that 5-Ingredient Spicy Chile-Garlic Tofu<\/a> I shared last Friday to good use. In addition to\u00a0the\u00a0tofu, they're packed with. . .<\/p>\n

Glass noodles<\/p>\n

Purple cabbage<\/p>\n

Fresh mango<\/p>\n

Red bell pepper<\/p>\n

Scallions<\/p>\n

Carrots<\/p>\n

Cucumbers<\/p>\n

Fresh herbs | cilantro + Thai basil + mint<\/p>\n

Black sesame seeds (if you please)<\/p>\n

And they're served alongside a sweet\u00a0chile-garlic sauce for the ultimate dip-'n'-crunch experience.<\/p>\n

Although the number of ingredients looks a bit hefty, a handful of them are completely optional. Plus, the sweet chile-garlic sauce is made with the same ingredients as the sauce for the tofu recipe. Thus, other than what's listed below, you'll only need to grab a block of tofu. Less fuss, more fun.<\/p>\n

I find that it usually takes about 5 or so rolls to get into the summer roll wrapping groove, so don't fret if your first handful of rolls look like a hot summer roll mess or have a stray veggie or two poking out the side. They'll taste just as delicious as their more uniform counterparts, and by the time you hit\u00a0roll 20, they'll also serve as a good reminder of just how far you've come in your summer roll wrappin'.<\/p>\n

Also, try not to\u00a0get too hung up on the 1 hour+ prep time for this recipe, because the techniques are actually super simple\u2014I promise!<\/p>\n

The bulk of the prep time is spent slicing and chopping\u00a0the veggies, fruit, and herbs. Once that portion is\u00a0complete, the only thing\u00a0that stands between you and summer-roll-dipping is a bit of stuffing, wrapping, and rolling. Point of the matter? Just toss on some energizing, feel good tunes and get after it\u2014you'll be wrapping\u00a0your way to crisp summer roll bliss in no time.<\/p>\n
