Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets rice paper wrappers
- 200 grams shrimp, cooked and peeled
- 100 grams rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 0.5 whole red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 8 small lettuce leaves
- 20 grams fresh mint leaves
- 20 grams fresh cilantro leaves
- 20 grams fresh Thai basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 4 cups warm water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking them in hot water for 3-5 minutes until soft, then draining and rinsing with cold water.
Prepare your dipping sauce by combining the low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Assemble all the filling ingredients: cooked shrimp, julienned carrots, julienned cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, whole lettuce leaves, and fresh herbs including mint, cilantro, and Thai basil.
Fill a shallow tray with the warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds or until it's pliable but still slightly firm. Gently shake off excess water and lay it flat on a clean, damp cloth or plate.
Place a lettuce leaf on the lower third of the rice paper. Add a small amount of noodles on top of the lettuce, then layer a few pieces of shrimp, carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, and sprinkle with a few fresh herbs.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then fold the bottom over the top of the vegetables and roll tightly, keeping the roll snug around the filling.
Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and ingredients.
Cut each roll in half if desired and serve immediately with the dipping sauce prepared earlier.
