Our easy gluten free spring rolls are one of our simplest recipes. It only takes 10 minutes and is great for a side dish or tasty snack. They are made with fresh herbs and taste just like traditional spring rolls that you love from your favorite restaurant.
What I think you will love about these
Classic and fully gluten free: Traditional spring rolls, sometimes called summer rolls can often contain gluten ingredients especially when it comes to the dipping sauces. So, we came up with a recipe that is a fantastic gluten-free option.
Great accompaniment to almost any meal: While I will often just eat these for my meal, I also love serving them with our Instant Pot Jasmine Rice or 8-minute gluten free ramen for a bit more sustenance.
Top tip: Try a dipping sauce you've never tried before! It's always fun to try new flavors. There is peanut dipping sauce, spicy peanut sauce, gluten free soy sauce, tamari soy sauce and sweet chili sauce, but make sure they are gluten free.
What you need
You only need a few ingredients for making your own spring rolls. It is a simple process and only takes about 10 minutes to make!
Rice Paper
Traditional spring rolls are wrapped in flour wrappers, making them not gluten-free. For a gluten-free spring roll, you will want to use either rice flour wrappers or tapioca flour wrappers. You will typically find that a rice wrapper is more common that tapioca flour wrappers.
Fresh Mint
Adding half a cup of fresh mint leaves adds a fresh flavor to these delicious spring rolls. That fresh flavor mixed with the vegetables creates such a delicious flavor.
Cooked Chicken or Cooked Shrimp
Adding chicken or shrimp to your rice paper wrappers when making fresh spring rolls is completely optional. It all depends on if you want that chicken flavor or shrimp flavor. To make gluten-free vegan spring rolls, just omit the chicken or shrimp. You could even add in tofu.
Let's make them
- Warm water is key to making the wrapper pliable before adding filling and rolling. They only need a quick dip (like 20 seconds) if the water is sufficiently warm.
- Then all you have to do is fill each rice paper with whatever you love then fold the short sides in first followed by the long edge of one side before rolling like a burrito.
As Ina would say, how easy is that?!
