Ingredients

• 8 pieces rice paper wrappers
• 1 cup vegetarian shrimp
• 100 grams vermicelli rice noodles
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 medium cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 8 large lettuce leaves
• 1 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the peanut dipping sauce by combining peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, lime juice, water, and sugar in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

Lay out all the prepared ingredients on a clean surface: vegetarian shrimp, prepared noodles, carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, lettuce, mint leaves, and cilantro.

Step 4

Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable but not too soft. Remove and place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel.

Step 5

On the bottom third of the rice paper, place a few pieces of vegetarian shrimp, a small handful of noodles, some julienned carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Add a leaf of lettuce and a few mint and cilantro leaves.

Step 6

Fold the sides over the filling and then starting from the bottom, roll tightly but gently upwards to form a roll. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Step 7

Serve the summer rolls immediately with the prepared peanut dipping sauce, garnished with crushed peanuts for extra texture and flavor.
