Vegan Rainbow Spring Rolls

I’m allergic to peanuts, which I’m totally pleasant with ninety nine% of the time. the other 1% of the time? That part consists of Asian sauces.

I got a flavor of a sneakily peanut-stuffed sauce in Thailand ultimate year. It was scrumptious for the primary five minutes (till I proceeded to puff up like a balloon, doomed to spend the rest of the day popping Benadryl and deflating in a cold pool). however ever due to the fact then, I’ve regarded precisely what I’m missing. and that i’ve been determined to make an opportunity sauce ever on account that.

properly the ginger nut butter sauce that we’re whipping up with those rainbow spring rolls is it. Like… it… is… IT. candy, umami, nutty, gingery. It’s the whole lot guys. And it has the power to show a literal pile of vegetables (i.e. those rainbow spring rolls) into the maximum addictively healthful meal you’re gonna consume in a while.
