Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Rice paper wrappers
- 100 grams Vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 medium, julienned Carrot
- 0.5 medium, julienned Cucumber
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
- 1 ripe, thinly sliced Avocado
- 16 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 16 leaves Fresh cilantro leaves
- 150 grams, halved lengthwise Cooked shrimp
- 4 tablespoons Hoison sauce
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts
Instructions
Prepare the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, you will need to soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes, then drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Fill a large shallow dish or pie pan with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it starts to soften, then transfer it to a clean tea towel or a cutting board.
In the center of the rice paper, place a small handful of vermicelli noodles, a few slices of carrot, cucumber, and bell pepper, 2 slices of avocado, 2 mint leaves, 2 cilantro leaves, and 2 halves of shrimp.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then fold up the bottom snugly. Roll to close, keeping the wrapper tight around the filling and being careful not to tear it. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
To make the dipping sauce, combine hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and water in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Serve the rolls on a platter with the dipping sauce on the side. Sprinkle the crushed peanuts over the sauce for added texture.
Enjoy your fresh and healthy Spring Rolls!
