Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces rice paper sheets
- 1 piece medium-sized carrot
- 1 piece cucumber
- 1 piece red bell pepper
- 1 piece avocado
- 24 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 24 leaves fresh cilantro leaves
- 100 grams rice vermicelli noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 0.5 piece lime
- 500 milliliters warm water
Instructions
Start by cooking the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this means soaking them in hot water for about 5 minutes until soft. Drain and rinse under cold water, then set aside.
Peel the carrot and cut it into thin matchsticks. Likewise, slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado into thin strips.
Set up a rolling station by clearing a clean surface and preparing a shallow dish filled with warm water.
One at a time, dip the rice paper sheets into the warm water until they become pliable, about 15-20 seconds, then carefully lay them flat on the clean surface.
Place a few strips of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado horizontally across the lower third of the rice paper. Add a small handful of rice vermicelli noodles, along with some mint and cilantro leaves.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling. Then, tightly roll the paper from the bottom up, ensuring the filling is securely encased. Repeat with the remaining rice paper sheets and fillings.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and a squeeze of lime to create a dipping sauce.
Serve the rice paper rolls fresh with the dipping sauce on the side.
