Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 12 large Cooked shrimp
- 50 grams Vermicelli noodles
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 6 large Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts
Instructions
Prepare the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, usually involving soaking in hot water until softened, then draining and rinsing with cold water.
Peel the carrot and cut into thin julienne strips. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice into thin strips.
In a medium bowl, mix the rice vinegar and soy sauce. Add the carrot and cucumber strips, tossing thoroughly to coat. Let them marinate for about 15 minutes.
For the peanut dipping sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, and warm water until smooth and combined.
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds until pliable.
Place the softened wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel. Arrange a piece of lettuce, a few strips of marinated carrot and cucumber, some vermicelli noodles, 2 mint leaves, and 2 cilantro leaves towards one end of the wrapper.
Place two pieces of cooked shrimp on top of the filling.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly but carefully to form a roll.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients, placing the finished rolls on a platter and covering them with a damp paper towel to keep them moist.
Serve the salad rolls with the prepared peanut dipping sauce, garnished with chopped peanuts if desired.
