Soba and Veggie Summer Rolls with Vegan Nuoc Cham image

Soba is made with buckwheat (and sometimes wheat flour). These noodles are quick cooking, with a complex and nutty flavor. They pair perfectly with crunchy vegetables all wrapped inside chewy rice paper wrappers. Dip the summer rolls in a vegan version of nuoc cham for a completely plant-based appetizer.

Time 25m

Yield 8 summer rolls

Number Of Ingredients 12

3.5 ounces dry soba
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegan sambal oelek
1 tablespoon vegan sugar
2 cloves garlic, very finely minced
Eight 10-inch rice paper wrappers
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup finely shredded purple cabbage
1/2 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 English cucumber, seeded and cut into matchsticks

Steps:

  • Cook the soba: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Cook the soba according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold running water until cooled. Drain and set aside until needed.
  • Make the nuoc cham: Whisk the soy sauce with the lime juice, water, sambal oelek, sugar, and garlic in a small bowl until combined. Set aside until needed.
  • Wrap the summer rolls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fill a large skillet with cold water.
  • Working with 1 rice paper wrapper at a time, soak in the skillet until just pliable, 5 to 7 seconds. Transfer the wrapper to a clean cutting board.
  • Layer some of each of the spinach, cabbage, bell pepper, and cucumber in the bottom third of the wrapper. Top with a small bundle of the soba. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it up like a burrito. Place it on the prepared baking sheet seam-side down.
  • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients, spacing the rolls apart on the baking sheet.
  • Serve with the vegan nuoc cham.
