Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 24 pieces Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 12 sprigs Fresh cilantro
• 6 leaves Green leaf lettuce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 3 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Crushed roasted peanuts
• 1 clove Garlic, finely minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Sriracha (optional, for spice)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrot and cucumber, and tear the lettuce leaves into smaller pieces (if large). Gather the fresh mint leaves and cilantro sprigs.

Step 3

Fill a large shallow bowl or pie dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds until it softens. Lay it flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.

Step 4

Place a small portion of rice vermicelli noodles, a few strips of carrot and cucumber, 1 lettuce piece, 2 shrimp, and 1 sprig each of mint and cilantro on the lower third of the rice paper.

Step 5

Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and ingredients until you have 12 rolls.

Step 6

To prepare the peanut dipping sauce, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, water, and minced garlic in a small bowl. If you prefer a spicier sauce, add Sriracha to taste.

Step 7

Transfer the peanut dipping sauce to a serving bowl and garnish with crushed roasted peanuts.

Step 8

Serve the Vietnamese rolls on a platter alongside the peanut dipping sauce. Enjoy immediately!
