Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams vegetarian shrimp
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, julienned carrot
- 1 medium, julienned cucumber
- 1 medium, thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 15 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 bunch, leaves only fresh cilantro
- 100 grams rice vermicelli noodles
- 12 wrappers rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup for dipping peanut sauce or hoisin sauce
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic to make the marinade.
2. Add the vegetarian shrimp to the marinade and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Usually this involves soaking them in hot water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
4. Prepare the vegetables by julienning the carrot and cucumber, and thinly slicing the red bell pepper.
5. Set up your spring roll rolling station with a large bowl of warm water, a damp clean towel or a silicone mat to roll on, and all your components: marinated shrimp, noodles, vegetables, mint leaves, cilantro, and rice paper wrappers.
6. To soften a rice paper wrapper, briefly dip it into the bowl of warm water (about 5 seconds) until it becomes pliable. Transfer it to your damp towel or mat.
7. Layer a small amount of noodles across the center of the wrapper, followed by a few pieces of vegetarian shrimp, a handful of mixed vegetables, and a few mint and cilantro leaves.
8. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the fillings, then fold the bottom over and roll tightly. Press gently to seal.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
10. Serve the spring rolls with a side of peanut sauce or hoisin sauce for dipping.
