Ingredients

• 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
• 12 pieces Shrimp, cooked and peeled
• 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 12 sprigs Fresh cilantro leaves
• 6 pieces Butter lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 3 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to boil. Remove from heat, and add the rice vermicelli noodles. Let them soak for 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool, then set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables by julienning the carrot and cucumber into thin strips. Gather the mint leaves, cilantro sprigs, and butter lettuce leaves.

Step 3

Fill a large shallow dish or bowl with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper at a time for about 5-10 seconds, or until just softened. Carefully transfer it to a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.

Step 4

Lay a piece of lettuce on the bottom third of the softened wrapper. Add a small portion of rice noodles, a few julienned vegetables, a shrimp, and a mint leaf or two, leaving space around the edges.

Step 5

Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then tightly roll it up from the bottom like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Step 6

To make the peanut sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional water, if needed.

Step 7

Serve the spring rolls whole or sliced in half, and pair with the peanut sauce for dipping. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts for garnish, if desired.
