Spring rolls with dipping sauce

These spring rolls may seem sort of labor intensive, but once you have your ingredients prepped it doesn't take any more time than making a burrito.

Ingredients:

4 rice paper wrappers
1/6 package of rice noodles, cooked according to package
4 baby carrots, julienned
3 inch piece of cucumber, julienned
4 slices avocado
1 handful of cilantro
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon sriracha

Directions:

Prep all of your ingredients first and lay them out so that they are all easily accessible, once you get going you have to work quickly. Squeeze out the extra water from your rice noodles and separate them into four small piles. Mix your mayo and sriracha together in a small bowl and set aside. Fill a large plate (one with rims) with warm water. Soak one rice paper at a time for a few seconds (really just enough to where you can feel it become a little slippery and pliable). Remove paper from water and place on a clean work surface. Place one small pile of rice noodles on top of the rice paper, about an inch from the edge. Next, spread a small amount of sriracha mayo on top of noodles. Top with small piles of carrots, cucumber, and one slice of avocado. Take the one inch edge of the rice paper and fold it over the noodles and veggies, pulling just a little to make it tight. Then fold over the sides, just like you're making a burrito. Add a few cilantro leaves and finish rolling, making sure to squeeze a little bit to make it tight. Place one roll aside and repeat for the others.

Dipping sauce:

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon corn starch
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions:

Place all ingredients in a saucepan and whisk until it turns a light brown. Cook on medium heat, whisking a few times until it starts to simmer. Simmer 1-2 minutes or until it thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

**Obviously you can add anything you like to your spring rolls. I've added slices of red pepper, lettuce, green onion, mango, etc. before. If you're not a vegetarian you could add shrimp or something.
