Instructions
Pickled Vegetables:
- Place carrots, green onions, and cucumber in a heat proof bowl.
- Combine vinegar, sugar, water, coriander, chili flakes, and bay leaf in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Pour vinegar mixture over vegetables and allow to cool for 2 hours at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours.
House Sambal:
- Combine all ingredients in a commercial blender. Process on low speed for coarse texture.
Assembly:
- Working one at a time, moisten a spring roll wrapper with water until it is pliable and easy to work with.
- Place 2 Bibb lettuce leaves on the wrapper, 1 inch from the edge closest to you. Layer on 3 avocado slices, 1 tablespoon of Thai basil, 1 tablespoon of mint, ¼ cup pickled vegetable mixture, and ¼ cup cooked rice vermicelli.
- Starting with the edge closest to you, tightly roll the spring roll. Trim ¼” off each end, then cut into 6 equal pieces. Repeat with remaining spring roll wrappers.
- Plate each roll (6 pieces) standing up and serve with 2 tablespoons of the house sambal.
* Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
