Cook the Quinoa
First, cook the quinoa. Rinse the quinoa for at least 30 seconds to get rid of the bitterness. In a small pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then decrease to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all the water, about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the amounts of quinoa. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for five minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork. -
Prepare the sauce
To prepare the sauce, in a jar or mixing bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients, until smooth. -
Prepare the rice papers
To assemble the spring rolls, pour hot water into a pot or skillet (larger in diameter than the rice paper). Immerse one rice paper at a time, for about 15 seconds (or according to the package instructions), until slightly soft. Assemble right away, before moving to the next one. -
Assemble the rolls
Transfer the soften rice paper on a damp cutting board or plate and gently spread out the edges into a circle. In the middle of the rice paper place a layer or quinoa, top with lettuce, celery, mango and bell pepper. Assemble like a burrito. Fold over once, tuck in the edges and continue rolling until the seam is sealed. - Place seam-side down on a serving plate and repeat until all fillings are used up.
- Serve with the peanut butter sauce. Enjoy!

How to store
The leftovers store well individually, separated by parchment paper to keep them from sticking together, for up to 2 days. The peanut butter sauce will last longer, for up to 6 days.
