🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
• 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 12 sprigs Fresh mint leaves
• 12 sprigs Fresh cilantro
• 12 pieces Cooked shrimp, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)

• 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce (for dipping sauce)
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar (for dipping sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Water (for dipping sauce)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

2. Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin, even strips.

3. Arrange your workspace by placing a large plate or cutting board, damp kitchen towel, the rice paper wrappers, and all the prepared fillings nearby.

4. Fill a shallow bowl or pie dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10–15 seconds until it softens. Do not let it soak for too long, or it may tear.

5. Lay the softened wrapper flat on the damp kitchen towel or plate.

6. Place a small handful of rice noodles in the center of the wrapper, followed by a few strips of carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, a sprig of mint, a sprig of cilantro, and a piece of sliced shrimp (if using).

7. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides inward. Roll tightly upwards to form a spring roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

8. To make the dipping sauce, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if desired.

9. Serve the spring rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
