Ingredients

• 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
• 100 grams Cooked vermicelli rice noodles
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 12 medium Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons Warm water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all vegetables by julienning the carrot and cucumber, and slicing the bell pepper thinly.

Step 2

Arrange all filling ingredients (vermicelli noodles, vegetables, mint, cilantro, and shrimp, if using) on a platter or cutting board for easy access.

Step 3

Fill a large shallow dish with warm water to soften the rice paper wrappings.

Step 4

To assemble each wrap, dip one rice paper sheet in the warm water for about 15 seconds until soft and pliable. Remove and place it flat on a clean kitchen towel.

Step 5

In the middle of the rice paper, place a small amount of noodles, arrange a few carrot and cucumber strips, several bell pepper strips, a couple of mint leaves, and a few cilantro leaves. If desired, add one shrimp.

Step 6

Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly but gently to enclose the filling. Place seam-side down on a platter. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Step 7

To make the spicy peanut sauce, combine peanut butter, gluten-free soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, sriracha sauce, and warm water in a bowl.

Step 8

Whisk the sauce until smooth, adjusting the consistency with more water if necessary and seasoning to taste with more sriracha or lime juice.

Step 9

Serve the fresh rice wraps with the spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
