Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 2 cups Cooked shrimp, chicken, tofu, or other protein of choice
- 1 cup Carrot, julienned
- 1 cup Cucumber, julienned
- 12 pieces Fresh lettuce leaves
- 1 bunch Fresh mint leaves
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1.5 cups Cooked vermicelli noodles
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons Water (for dipping sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare all the filling ingredients: julienne the carrots and cucumbers, wash the lettuce and fresh herbs, and cook the protein (if not already cooked).
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Prepare a wide shallow dish with warm water for softening the rice paper wrappers.
Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for 5-10 seconds until it softens. Remove it and place it on a clean work surface.
Lay a piece of lettuce in the center of the rice paper, followed by a small amount of vermicelli noodles, julienned vegetables, protein, and a few fresh mint and cilantro leaves.
Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it tightly to form a cylinder.
Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and fillings.
In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, water, and lime juice to make the dipping sauce. Top with crushed peanuts for garnish if desired.
Serve the rice paper rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
