Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 12 pieces Cooked shrimp, deveined and halved lengthwise
• 12 pieces Thin slices of cooked pork (optional)
• 200 grams Cooked rice vermicelli noodles
• 6 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves or butterhead lettuce
• 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 large Julienned cucumber
• 1 large Julienned carrots
• 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 3 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Step 2

Lay out all your ingredients (shrimp, pork, lettuce, herbs, cucumber, carrots, and noodles) so they are easily accessible for assembly.

Step 3

Fill a large shallow dish or plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds to soften. Lay it flat on a clean surface or a damp towel.

Step 4

Place a piece of lettuce on the bottom third of the rice paper wrapper. Add a small handful of rice noodles, a few mint, basil, and cilantro leaves, and some julienned cucumber and carrots.

Step 5

Place 2 shrimp halves (cut side up for presentation) and a slice of pork (if using) about an inch above the fillings.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the rice paper inwards, then tightly roll it up, starting from the bottom where the lettuce and noodles are, enclosing the shrimp and pork last. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.

Step 7

To make the dipping sauce, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water, if needed. Garnish with crushed peanuts on top.

Step 8

Serve the fresh spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
