Time 30m

Yield 8 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
16 medium peeled and deveined shrimp
2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons sambal oelek or hot sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
8 rice paper wrappers
1 bunch Thai basil or regular basil leaves
Juice of 2 limes
1 Thai bird chili, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • For the shrimp and mango summer rolls: Fill a large bowl with water and add ice cubes. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil, add the shrimp and blanch until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to the bowl with ice water to stop the cooking. Let the shrimp sit in the ice bath for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry the shrimp, slice horizontally in half and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the mangoes, lime juice, fish sauce and sambal, season with pepper and stir to combine.
  • Fill a dish with hot tap water. Add a wrapper for 2 seconds only and transfer the wrapper to a lint-free towel to drain, top with a second towel and blot dry. Flip over the stack of towels and peel off the top towel. Top the wrapper with 2 to 3 Thai basil leaves and the shrimp and mango filling. Fold up the bottom and force the filling downwards to form a log. Then fold in both sides then continue rolling. Store under a damp towel to keep moist. Repeat with remaining rolls. Halve each roll on the diagonal and serve immediately.
  • Make the lime dipping sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and serve with the rolls.

Yield Makes 8 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For dipping sauce
3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce such as Thai nam pla or Vietnamese nuoc mam*
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons water
2 1/2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
For rolls
12 large shrimp in shell (21 to 25 per pound), peeled
3 ounces vermicelli rice-stick noodles*
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 (8-inch) rice-paper rounds plus additional in case some tear*
48 fresh cilantro leaves (from about 1 bunch)
48 fresh mint leaves (from about 1 bunch)
1 seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped; 1 lb), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks
3 scallions, cut into 3-inch-long julienne strips
1 pound firm-ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks

Steps:

  • Make sauce:
  • Stir together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
  • Make rolls:
  • Add shrimp to a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water then reduce heat and poach shrimp at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then return shrimp cooking water to a boil. Chill shrimp in ice water 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Cut each shrimp in half lengthwise, deveining if necessary.
  • Add noodles to boiling water and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold running water and drain well. Stir together vinegar, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved, then add noodles and toss to coat.
  • Put a double thickness of paper towel on a work surface and fill a shallow baking pan with warm water. Check rice-paper rounds and use only those that have no holes. Soak 1 round in warm water until pliable, 30 seconds to 1 minute, then carefully transfer to paper towels.
  • Arrange 3 shrimp halves (cut sides up) in a row across bottom third (part nearest you) of soaked rice paper. Spread 1/4 cup noodles on top of shrimp and arrange 3 cilantro leaves, 3 mint leaves, 8 cucumber matchsticks, 6 scallion strips, and 10 mango matchsticks horizontally on top of noodles. Fold bottom of rice paper over filling and begin rolling up tightly, stopping at halfway point. Arrange 3 more mint leaves and 3 more cilantro leaves along crease, then fold in ends and continue rolling. Transfer summer roll, seam side down, to a plate and cover with dampened paper towels. Make 7 more rolls in same manner and serve, whole or halved diagonally, with dipping sauce.

  • Be Gentle: When rolling the summer rolls, be gentle and avoid overstuffing them. Otherwise, they may break apart.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as mint, cilantro, and basil, add a lot of flavor to summer rolls. Use them generously.
  • Serve with Dipping Sauce: Summer rolls are traditionally served with a dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or peanut sauce. This adds a delicious flavor and richness to the rolls.
