Equipment

Ingredients
- 4 rice paper sheets
- 2 large romaine salad leaves

For the Chickpea Filling:
- 1 cup chickpeas
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
For the Sauce:
Instructions
- Cut the Veggies: Slice the cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and avocado into thin pieces and set them aside.
- Prepare the Chickpea Filling: In a bowl, mash the chickpeas until they are mostly smooth. Add the mayonnaise, soy sauce, and rice vinegar, and mix well to combine. This filling will be the protein-rich base of your rolls.
- Get Ready to Roll: Fill a large bowl with cold water. Set up a wooden board as your workspace for assembling the rolls.
- Soften the Rice Papers: Dip each rice paper sheet in the water just until they start to soften, about 5-10 seconds. Arrange them on the wooden board, slightly overlapping in the middle for easier folding.
- Make the Rolls: Place a romaine lettuce leaf in the center of the rice papers. Spread a portion of the chickpea mixture over the lettuce. Layer your sliced veggies on top of the chickpeas. Begin folding the edges of the rice papers over the center, tucking in the sides to secure the contents. If necessary, use an additional rice paper sheet to ensure everything is neatly wrapped.
- Serve Them Up: Optionally, cut the rolls in half for easier consumption. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a spicy sriracha-mayo mix.
Notes
Variations: Adjust the chickpea filling's seasoning or replace it with tofu for added protein. Experiment with various vegetables like spinach, sprouts, or shredded cabbage for different flavors and textures.
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh but can be kept in the fridge for a day if wrapped in a damp paper towel to keep the rice paper moist.
