Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 2 cups Cooked rice noodles or vermicelli
- 12 pieces Cooked shrimp, sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 cup Boneless cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 6 pieces Fresh lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, and Thai basil)
- 1 cup Carrot, julienned
- 1 cup Cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 4 cups Warm water (for softening rice papers)
- 1.5 cups Peanut sauce or hoisin dipping sauce
Instructions
Prepare all your fillings: Shred the chicken, slice the shrimp in half lengthwise, and julienne the carrot and cucumber. Arrange all the fillings in separate bowls for easy access.
Fill a shallow dish or large bowl with warm water. Make sure it’s wide enough to dip a rice paper wrapper into without folding it.
Working one at a time, take a rice paper wrapper and dip it into the warm water for about 10–15 seconds, or until it softens but is still slightly firm to the touch. Lay it flat on a clean cutting board or smooth surface.
Layer your fillings on the lower third of the rice paper wrapper. Start with a piece of lettuce, then add a small handful of rice noodles, a couple of sliced shrimp, some shredded chicken, and a few pieces of julienned carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts, and fresh herbs.
To wrap, fold the bottom of the wrapper over the fillings. Fold in the sides like an envelope, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining rice papers and fillings.
Arrange the finished rice paper rolls on a serving platter, ensuring they do not touch each other (they can stick together).
Serve immediately with your choice of peanut sauce or hoisin dipping sauce for dipping.
