Pea Shoot Fresh Spring Rolls
Pea and sunflower shoots replace the lettuce entirely — more crunch, more flavour, and they don't go slimy in the wrapper.

Lettuce in a spring roll goes limp within the hour. Microgreen stems don't.
Work one wrapper at a time and keep them barely softened — they keep hydrating after they leave the water.
Pea Shoot Fresh Spring Rolls
Serves 4 · 25 minutes · Snacks & sides
Ingredients
- 12 — rice paper wrappers
- 3 oz — pea shoots
- 2 oz — sunflower microgreens
- 1 — carrot, julienned
- 1 — cucumber, julienned
- 1 — avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup — peanut butter
- 2 tbsp — soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tbsp — rice vinegar
- 1 tsp — sesame oil
- 1 tsp — honey or maple
Instructions
- Make the dipping sauce
Whisk the peanut butter, soy, vinegar, sesame oil and honey with 2–3 tbsp warm water until pourable.
- Prep everything first
Julienne the vegetables and lay all fillings out in a row. Rolling goes fast and you can't stop mid-way.
- Soften a wrapper
Dip one rice paper in warm water for 8 seconds only. It should still feel slightly stiff.
- Roll
Lay fillings in the lower third, greens last and generously. Fold the sides in, then roll tight. Repeat.
What the microgreens are doing here.
Stems that hold
Microgreen stems keep their rigidity inside a wet wrapper — lettuce collapses.
Sweet plus nutty
Pea shoots bring sweetness, sunflower brings the crunch and body.
Nothing lost
Every ingredient goes in raw, so nothing is diminished by heat.
Variations and pairings
Add protein
Poached shrimp, shredded chicken or baked tofu batons.
Nut free
Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter — same texture.
More heat
Add radish microgreens and a thin slice of jalapeño to each roll.
Bowl version
Skip the wrappers, chop everything and serve as a salad with the sauce as dressing.
