Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 1 cup Cooked crab meat
• 4 ounces Rice vermicelli noodles
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 0.5 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 6 leaves Lettuce leaves, torn into pieces
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 small Red chili, finely chopped
• 4 cups Warm water

Directions

Step 1

Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and red chili in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.

Step 3

Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5 seconds until softened, then place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel or a wooden surface.

Step 4

Layer a small amount of lettuce, cooked vermicelli noodles, crab meat, julienned carrots, cucumbers, mint, cilantro, and Thai basil near the bottom edge of the rice paper, leaving room to fold.

Step 5

Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper tightly over the filling. Fold the sides inward, then roll the wrapper tightly to form a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 6

Place the finished rolls on a platter, seam side down, and cover with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.

Step 7

Serve the crab soft rolls with the prepared dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy fresh!
