Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
- 12 leaves Large lettuce leaves
- 12 pieces Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup Cooked vermicelli rice noodles
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup Julienned carrot
- 1 cup Julienned cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 cup Crushed peanuts
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients by washing and drying the vegetables and herbs. Set up your workspace with ingredients easily accessible.
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds to soften. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
Place one lettuce leaf in the center of the softened rice paper. On top of the lettuce, arrange 1 piece of shrimp, a small handful of noodles, a few mint and cilantro leaves, a pinch of julienned carrot and cucumber.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling. Starting with the edge closest to you, roll tightly but gently away from you to encase the filling in the rice paper. Continue with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
For a simple dipping sauce, mix low-sodium soy sauce with fresh lime juice. Stir well to combine.
Arrange the salad rolls on a serving platter and sprinkle crushed peanuts over the rolls for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately with the soy-lime dipping sauce on the side.
