About this recipe
Vegetarian summer rolls with the Thermomix TM7 bring a fresh, Asian-inspired starter or light lunch to your table with minimal effort. These translucent rice paper parcels reveal a colourful filling of crunchy carrot, pepper, radishes and cabbage, layered with tender rice vermicelli and served with a bold Korean gochujang dipping sauce. Searching for summer roll recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine stops here, because the TM7 handles the fiddliest parts for you. Instead of spending ten minutes julienning vegetables by hand, the chopping function delivers uniform pieces in seconds, which is essential for rolls that fold neatly and slice cleanly. The same bowl then blends the gochujang sauce into a smooth, evenly balanced dip. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, a sharing platter at a garden party or a light meal on warm days, these no-cook rolls keep the kitchen cool and the preparation relaxed for cooks of any level.
Preparation tips
- Dip each rice paper briefly in lukewarm water until just pliable, then assemble on a damp worktop so the Vegetarian summer roll wrapper does not stick or tear while you layer the vermicelli and vegetables.
- Keep the carrot, pepper, radishes and cabbage strips similar in length so the filling distributes evenly and every bite of your summer roll delivers the same crunch alongside the soft noodles.
- Serve the gochujang sauce in a small bowl beside the rolls rather than inside them, and cover finished rolls with a damp cloth to prevent the rice paper drying out before serving.
Recipe variations
- Make a vegan version by checking that your gochujang paste is free from fish sauce and honey, then fill the rolls with extra cabbage, radishes and vermicelli for an entirely plant-based summer roll.
- For a festive variation, add thin strips of omelette or fried tofu and garnish the rolls with sesame seeds and fresh mint, turning them into an elegant party starter for guests.
