Ingredients
- 12 pieces Rice paper sheets
- 12 pieces Cooked shrimp
- 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 20 grams Fresh mint leaves
- 20 grams Fresh cilantro
- 6 leaves Leafy lettuce
- 100 ml Hoisin sauce
- 30 grams Crushed peanuts
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, usually by soaking them in hot water for 3-5 minutes until tender, then draining and setting aside.
Step 2
Fill a shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. This will be used to soak the rice paper sheets.
Step 3
Working one at a time, dip a rice paper sheet into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds, until pliable but not overly soft. Carefully transfer to a clean, damp tea towel or surface.
Step 4
Arrange a piece of lettuce on the lower third of the rice paper. Place 2 pieces of shrimp along the center, followed by a small handful of the prepared rice noodles, a few strips of carrot and cucumber, fresh mint leaves, and cilantro.
Step 5
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Step 6
Place each completed roll under a damp cloth to keep them moist until all are finished.
Step 7
Make the dipping sauce by combining the hoisin sauce with a small amount of warm water to reach a smooth consistency, then sprinkle with crushed peanuts.
Step 8
Serve the rice paper rolls fresh with the hoisin-peanut dipping sauce on the side.
