The sauce was delicious! Great light and tasty meal for the summer. I also added some thinly sliced red bell pepper just to amp up the veggies. I think next time I’ll make double the sauce because it would be great as a leftover to drizzle on any veggie/rice bowl. Thanks for the great recipe!

I LOVE this Spring Roll Bowl recipe. Living in the Midwest doesn’t lend itself to an abundance of fresh vegetables. So I used frozen snow peas instead of fresh. I can’t tell the difference. Additionally, I use Millet & Brown Rice ramen noodles from Lotus Foods(Costco). Lastly, I only make one dish of vegetables & noodles at a time and save half the sauce for another meal.
