Veggie Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

Without fail every time I go to any type of Asian restaurant, the first thing I do is look for spring rolls on the menu. I like trying all the different varieties – I think my favorite ones are from a Vietnamese restaurant by my house. Until recently, however, I had never thought of making them myself. This recipe is a perfect appetizer for a crowd or light dinner. They are healthy and although a little time consuming, very easy to make. The peanut sauce is delicious (I suggest making extra – it goes good on everything).

1 package rice paper wraps (I found mine at Whole Foods)
1 package bean threads
1 cucumber
1 red pepper
carrots
bean sprouts
shredded purple cabbage
seitan
mint leaves
2 tbsp peanut butter
4 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp hot water
1 tbsp ginger
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp garlic
