Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
- 100 grams Cooked vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 12 medium Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Warm water
Instructions
Prepare all vegetables by julienning the carrot and cucumber, and slicing the bell pepper thinly.
Arrange all filling ingredients (vermicelli noodles, vegetables, mint, cilantro, and shrimp, if using) on a platter or cutting board for easy access.
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water to soften the rice paper wrappings.
To assemble each wrap, dip one rice paper sheet in the warm water for about 15 seconds until soft and pliable. Remove and place it flat on a clean kitchen towel.
In the middle of the rice paper, place a small amount of noodles, arrange a few carrot and cucumber strips, several bell pepper strips, a couple of mint leaves, and a few cilantro leaves. If desired, add one shrimp.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly but gently to enclose the filling. Place seam-side down on a platter. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
To make the spicy peanut sauce, combine peanut butter, gluten-free soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, sriracha sauce, and warm water in a bowl.
Whisk the sauce until smooth, adjusting the consistency with more water if necessary and seasoning to taste with more sriracha or lime juice.
Serve the fresh rice wraps with the spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
