Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ pound medium shrimp
½ pound pork loin
1 (8 ounce) package rice noodles
12 round rice wrapper sheets
1 bunch fresh Thai basil - leaves picked from stems
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup chopped fresh mint
2 cups bean sprouts
1 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon water
chopped roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Bring a medium stockpot of lightly salted water to a low boil. Cook shrimp 2 to 3 minutes, or until opaque. Drain, allow to cool slightly, and pat dry with paper towel. Peel, devein, and slice in half.
  • Bring another stockpot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pork at a low boil for approximately 10 minutes, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow to cool, and slice into thin strips.
  • Again, bring a stockpot of water to a boil. Cook noodles until tender, stirring occasionally, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Strain, and rinse to prevent sticking.
  • Fill a medium bowl with warm water. Dip each wrapper in water for about 30 seconds until soft and flexible. Lay wrapper on a flat surface, and place 2 basil leaves in center, side by side, about 2 inches from edge of wrapper. Lay 4 to 5 shrimp halves on basil, followed by a small amount of pork, then a small amount of noodles. Sprinkle with cilantro, mint, and top with bean sprouts. Starting at one end, roll the wrapper over once, fold both sides in toward center, and continue rolling as tightly as possible without tearing. The end result should be a roll approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.
  • Warm hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and immediately remove from heat. Garnish sauce with chopped peanuts, if desired, and serve with rolls for dipping.

COLD PORK RICE NOODLES WITH CUCUMBER AND PEANUTS



Cold Pork Rice Noodles With Cucumber and Peanuts image

Sometimes you want dinner to be cold. For those evenings, there's this make-ahead pork and rice noodle dish, offering a robust infusion of zing from garlic, fish sauce and tons of fresh herbs plus plenty of flexibility. Add more peanuts and basil, or go heavy on the mint and lime. Use pork tonight, and ground turkey or chicken the next time; it's your choice. This basic formula is easily adapted, and the components pack up easily for a work lunch or another night's dinner. To make this vegetarian, substitute semi-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, for the pork, and substitute a few tablespoons of soy sauce for the fish sauce.

3 tablespoons peanut, canola or grapeseed oil
6 garlic cloves, pressed or minced

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 tablespoons fish sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha or chile garlic sauce, plus more for serving

  • Drain the sauce off the pork into a bowl, and toss it with the noodles to coat. Divide the dressed noodles across four bowls and top with pork, cucumber, herbs and peanuts (or toss all together and transfer to a bowl). Drizzle with sriracha to taste and serve with lime for squeezing.

RICE NOODLES WITH THAI BASIL, MINT AND PEANUTS



Rice Noodles With Thai Basil, Mint and Peanuts image

Sort of a conglomeration of Asian cuisines. The original recipe has fresh cilantro only, but we liked both cilantro and Thai basil. From Bon Appetit April 1996. Rice noodles are available at Asian markets. I also like to throw in a fresh tomato or two (sliced or diced) to the mix.
