- Peanut Sauce – The homemade peanut sauce really takes these bowls to the next level! It ties all the flavors together perfectly.
How to Make Spring Roll Bowls:
Make Peanut Sauce: Place all the sauce ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth. Add a little water, if needed.
Chop Vegetables: Slice and chop all vegetables and herbs.
Prepare Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain them and place in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with a tablespoon or two of sweet chili sauce and a few tablespoons of the peanut sauce until well coated. Toss to combine.
Serve: Spoon noodles into bowls then top with sliced avocado, carrot, mango, bell pepper, Serrano pepper, cucumber, peanuts, and chopped herbs. Add chicken, shrimp or crispy tofu, if desired. Drizzle with extra sweet chili sauce and peanut sauce, and dig in!
Make Ahead Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Chop the veggies and make spring roll sauces up to 2 days ahead of time, stored in the fridge. The rice noodles are best cooked fresh, so they don’t clump together and harden.

I made this tonight with ground pork. It was delicious even though my fresh basil died and i had to use dried. Also, I misplaced my serrano peppers, LOL, so I didn’t use them. Will make again!!!
I made this tonight and added some pineapple chicken meatballs we had in the fridge. I love all the fresh herbs and veggies! My new favorite. I can’t wait to have it again!
We had this for dinner tonight. I added tofu and it was delicious!!! We had to use almond butter and chopped cashews because my husband is allergic to peanuts.It would be great with shrimp too. Thank You for another great recipe.
We all liked this and my kids especially. My 9 year old asked me to make it again while eating it. 😀
We did it with tofu and for the kids i left out the sweet chili sauce drizzle but did add it to the noodles.
So good! The kids even liked it 🙂 thank you!
So easy, and delicious! A keeper for sure, a summer staple!
Great summer dish! Cold, crunchy with a nice warm flavor.
So good! A great mix of heat and peanut flavors. The herbs made the dish so flavorful. Loved the cool ingredients such as mango and cucumber also. Great dish, now that I know how to make it 🙂
This is my new favorite recipe. What a great blend of flavors and so many healthy ingredients!
