Low FODMAP shrimp spring rolls
I realized that I have never shared a recipe for low FODMAP spring rolls on my blog. While spring rolls have been one of my favorite Asian dishes for years.
In 2014 I spent 6 weeks in Vietnam and enjoyed spring rolls there very often. Both fresh spring rolls, as you will see in this recipe, and deep-fried spring rolls. Both are super tasty.
I love spring rolls so much because they are a wonderfully light starter full of fresh ingredients. Rice vermicelli, shrimp, lettuce, vegetables, and fresh herbs such as mint and coriander (if you like).
And you usually dip the spring rolls in a delicious dipping sauce.
I also think these rolls are ideal to eat for lunch, but they are also good for dinner.
Then I often fill them a bit more by adding egg, for example. And then it’s a great filling meal.
The ingredients of the low FODMAP spring rolls
For these low FODMAP spring rolls, I chose the following ingredients:
- Rice sheets: you need these for the outside of the spring rolls
- Rice vermicelli
- Fresh shrimp
- Cucumber, cut into thin strips
- Carrots, cut into thin strips (I usually buy them pre-cut)
- Fresh mint
- Fresh coriander
And I made my own delicious Asian peanut sauce to dip the spring rolls in. Hmm, I’m getting hungry again as I write this. Fast forward to the recipe!

Hi, wat een lekker recept. Weet je misschien hoelang deze houdbaar zijn nadat je de hebt gemaakt?
Springrolls zijn vers wel het allerlekkerst. Je kunt ze eventueel de dag van te voren maken en dan bijv. de volgende dag meenemen voor de lunch, als je ze in de koelkast bewaart. Maar ik zou ze niet langer dan een dag bewaren.
