Frequently Asked Questions
Shrimp, paneer, tofu, or chicken would be my top recommendations. Just make sure to cut them the same size as the veggies to help roll it easily.
I think the sweet taste and fleshy texture of mango pairs really well the crunchy of the veggies and the slightly stick rice paper. But if you're making this when it's not mango season, I think pineapple and strawberries would make for a great replacement to mango.
Wrap them in an aluminium foil in a single line and place them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. If stored this way, these rolls stay good for up to 3 days.
Top Tips To Make The Best Mango Bell Pepper Rolls
- Do not over soak the rice paper otherwise you will end up with a mushy paper that's difficult to work with. About 5-10 seconds should be more than enough.
- Use a bowl that's big enough to completely submerge the rice paper without bending or breaking at the edges.
- You can customise the veggies you use based on your what you like and have available. Some other popular choices would be cabbage, purple cabbage, yellow and red bellpeppers, and zucchini.
- Make sure to have the veggies and mangoes chopped and ready to go before you start the filling process. Once you soak the wrapper, everything will go very quickly and you won't have time to do anything else.
- If you are making this ahead, then make sure to cover them in aluminium foil before placing them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. This will prevent them from drying out and help the veggies retain their crunch.
These mango bell pepper rice rolls are made from fresh, whole ingredients and are super healthy. Make them for a snack, as a party appetiser, and I promise you it's going to be a total hit!

Mango Bell Pepper Rice Paper Rolls + Mango Cilantro Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
For the Rice Paper Rolls:
- 8 Spring Roll Wrappers Rice Paper Wrappers
- 1 Mango large ripe , thinly sliced
- 2 Green Bell Peppers sliced
- 1 Carrot thinly sliced
- 2 Cucumbers thinly sliced
- ยฝ cup Mint Leaves
For the Mango Cilantro Dipping Sauce:
- 1 Mango ripe , diced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 2 - 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha or any other chili sauce
- ยผ cup Cilantro fresh/Coriander
- ยผ teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- For the mango cilantro dipping sauce, in a blender, add mango, lemon juice, water, salt and sriracha. Blend until smooth. Add the cilantro and pulse 2-3 times till the cilantro/coriander is chopped very fine, but green specks are still visible. Remove into a bowl and refrigerate till ready to use.
- To start making the rice paper rolls, create an assembly line of sorts. Take a cup of water in a shallow dish which is wide enough for the rice paper roll to sit comfortably without bending or breaking at the edges. In another plate, keep all your veggies together.
- Take one rice paper and dip it in the water for 5-10 seconds. Remove the paper and place it flat on the counter. It may still feel crisp, but don't worry it'll soften up pretty quickly. Don't be tempted to dip it for longer than 10 seconds. Place all the veggies and the mint leaves towards one end of the paper, leaving some space to fold.
- If your veggies are placed horizontally across the rice paper, fold both the sides to the center in such a way that they are a bit on the veggies. Now start rolling the sheet as tightly as possible without breaking it.
- Continue doing the same for the remaining rice paper till you have 7-8 rolls. Cover with aluminium foil to keep them from drying out. Serve cold with the mango cilantro dipping sauce.
