Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Rice paper sheets
- 12 pieces Cooked shrimp
- 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 20 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 20 grams Fresh cilantro
- 6 leaves Leafy lettuce
- 100 ml Hoisin sauce
- 30 grams Crushed peanuts
Instructions
Prepare the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, usually by soaking them in hot water for 3-5 minutes until tender, then draining and setting aside.
Fill a shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. This will be used to soak the rice paper sheets.
Working one at a time, dip a rice paper sheet into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds, until pliable but not overly soft. Carefully transfer to a clean, damp tea towel or surface.
Arrange a piece of lettuce on the lower third of the rice paper. Place 2 pieces of shrimp along the center, followed by a small handful of the prepared rice noodles, a few strips of carrot and cucumber, fresh mint leaves, and cilantro.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Place each completed roll under a damp cloth to keep them moist until all are finished.
Make the dipping sauce by combining the hoisin sauce with a small amount of warm water to reach a smooth consistency, then sprinkle with crushed peanuts.
Serve the rice paper rolls fresh with the hoisin-peanut dipping sauce on the side.
