Summer rolls

Make the sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic paste. it will look curdled, but as soon as you add water, the sauce will become smooth. Add water as desired, but do not make your sauce too thin.

Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain the noodles, rinse them under cold water, and drain well. Toss the noodles with sesame oil. 

Peel and slice the avocado and season it with lemon juice and salt to taste.

Fill a shallow pan with an inch of water. Place one piece of rice paper in the water and let it rest for 30 seconds. Place the rice paper onto the clean kitchen towel.

Cover the lower third of the rice paper with filling ingredients: noodles, carrots, bell pepper, avocado, and parsley or desired herbs.

Lift the lower part of the rice sheet and fold it over the filling. Bring the side parts of the rice sheet toward the center and start rolling upwards, just as you would make a burrito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Serve the spring rolls with the peanut sauce.
