Instructions
Soak 200 grams of rice vermicelli noodles in hot water for 3-5 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the vegetables. Julienne 2 carrots and 1 cucumber into thin strips.
Wash and pat dry 15 grams each of fresh mint leaves, cilantro, and Thai basil.
Prepare 12 rice paper wrappers by filling a large bowl with warm water. Quickly dip a wrapper in the water for 5-10 seconds until pliable, then transfer to a clean surface.
Lay 2-3 shrimp halves in a horizontal line about 2 inches from the bottom of the wrapper.
Add a small handful of softened vermicelli noodles, julienned carrots, julienned cucumber, 1 lettuce leaf, and a few leaves of mint, cilantro, and Thai basil.
Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then tightly roll it upward to form a neat cylinder. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
To make the dipping sauce, whisk together 3 tablespoons of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 3 tablespoons of warm water, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon of chili flakes (optional). Adjust water for desired consistency.
Serve the summer rolls with the peanut dipping sauce on the side, garnished with 30 grams of crushed peanuts.
