Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Wraps
- 1 boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced into strips
- 6 rice paper wraps
Vegetables
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
Peanut Sauce (natural)
- 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon honey (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes, or to taste
- Pinch of natural gelling agent (optional)
Garnishes (optional)
- Chopped peanuts
- Extra fresh cilantro leaves
- Extra chili flakes
Instructions
- Cook the chicken: Slice the boneless chicken breast into thin strips. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken strips until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the peanut sauce (natural): In a small bowl, whisk together natural peanut butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), honey (natural), chili flakes, and a pinch of natural gelling agent if using. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the vegetables: While the chicken cooks and the sauce comes together, julienne the carrots and cucumber, thinly slice the red bell pepper and green onions, and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
- Soften the rice paper wraps: Briefly dip each rice paper wrap into warm water just until pliable, then lay flat on a clean surface ready for filling.
- Assemble the wraps: Place a few pieces of cooked chicken in the center of each softened rice paper wrap. Add a handful of julienned vegetables, green onions, cilantro, and drizzle with peanut sauce. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form each wrap.
- Serve and enjoy: Cut each wrap in half diagonally to display the colorful filling. Serve immediately with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Prepare all ingredients in advance to speed up assembly.
- Do not over-soften rice paper wraps to avoid tearing; a quick dip in warm water is sufficient.
- Adjust peanut sauce flavors by adding more apple cider vinegar (natural) for tang or honey (natural) for sweetness.
- Toast chopped peanuts lightly to add a nutty crunch when sprinkling on top.
- Use fresh cilantro for authentic brightness and flavor.
