Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 12 pieces Cooked shrimp, halved lengthwise
- 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
- 6 leaves Lettuce leaves, torn into small pieces
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Hoison sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Water (for dipping sauce)
- 1 bowl Warm water (for softening wrappers)
Instructions
Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Prepare all the vegetables, herbs, and shrimp, and set them up in small bowls for easy assembly.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and water until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed. Set the dipping sauce aside.
Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper at a time into the water for 10-15 seconds until softened but not too mushy.
Place the softened wrapper onto a clean, slightly damp surface, such as a cutting board or clean towel.
Place 2 halved shrimp pieces in the center of the wrapper, leaving about 2 inches on each side for folding.
Add a small bundle of rice vermicelli noodles, a few julienned carrots, cucumbers, and red bell pepper, followed by some cilantro, mint, and Thai basil leaves. Add a small piece of lettuce on top.
Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure all the fillings inside the spring roll.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings until all the rolls are assembled.
Serve the spring rolls immediately with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
