Keto Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce

These refreshing Keto Vietnamese spring rolls with a peanut dipping sauce are the perfect light lunch or dinner. They are loaded with crunchy veggies, butter-tender shrimp, and chewy shirataki noodles. The dipping sauce is a creamy addition and the primary source of fats in this recipe.

Are Vietnamese spring rolls Keto?

The traditional spring roll is not Keto-friendly because it is prepared with rice paper, which is high in carbs. Spring rolls also usually contain regular wheat noodles. However, this version replaces the rice paper with collard green leaves and the wheat noodles with shirataki noodles. With that said, the rolls are just as delicious.

How to make the dipping sauce?

This dipping sauce is so simple yet packed with flavor. Start by adding your favorite brand of smooth peanut butter to a bowl. You can replace that with almond butter if desired. Follow the nut butter with boiling water, rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, fish sauce, maple-flavored syrup, and sesame oil. Whisk until a smooth sauce is formed. Keep it in a warm water bath until serving to prevent the fats and water from separating.

What to serve with this dish?

These Vietnamese rolls are fantastic on their own for lunch or a light dinner. You can also serve them as a side course or appetizer with other Keto Vietnamese recipes.

How can you customize this recipe?

This recipe is so forgiving and can be customized to your liking. You can fill the rolls with your favorite vegetables like red cabbage, scallion, turnips, broccoli stems, or lettuce. Instead of shrimp, you can add lobster, crab, chicken, steak, or tofu for a vegan option.
