Description

This vibrant Spring Roll in a Bowl is a fresh, healthy, and flavor-packed meal inspired by classic Vietnamese spring rolls. Loaded with crisp vegetables, tender rice noodles, and juicy grilled chicken, it’s tossed in a tangy-sweet lime dressing with a hint of spice. Perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner, this deconstructed bowl delivers all the delicious flavors you love—without the wrapping!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lime, juiced and zested
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 200 grams dried vermicelli noodles (thin rice noodles)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas, sliced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 grilled chicken breasts, seasoned and sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and zest, maple syrup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, and cold water to create the dressing.
  3. Prepare all vegetables by slicing and shredding as directed.
  4. Slice the grilled chicken breasts into thin strips.
  5. Assemble the bowls by placing noodles at the base, then layering cabbage, carrot, cucumber, snap peas, green onions, bell pepper, and chicken on top.
  6. Drizzle generously with the prepared dressing.
  7. Toss everything together before serving and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh. You can also add crushed peanuts or sesame seeds for extra crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days—keep dressing separate for best texture. Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
