SHRIMP CHEUNG FUN (RICE ROLLS)
Steps:
- Rice rolls:
- Sift the rice flour, tapioca starch, wheat starch, potato starch, and salt into a large bowl. Mix in the lukewarm water, stirring until a consistency of very thin glue is reached.
- When ready to cook, mix again until there are no clumps. Using a brush, generously oil a rimmed eighth sheet pan. Using a ladle, pour just as much batter in the pan as needed to form a thin, even layer. (The thinner you can keep your roll, the better.) Put 3 medium to large or 6 small shrimp onto each roll, placing them 1 inch from one narrow edge.
- Set up a 12-inch steamer: Fill a wok with enough water to come up to the lower rim of a steamer but not so much the waterline is above the food bed. (If you do want to DIY it, just use a plate in a pot. Fill a pot with ½ an inch of water. Then make a sort of tripod out of tinfoil by forming three golf ball- sized balls and placing them in the bottom of the pot, making sure their tops rest above the water- line. Rest the plate on the tinfoil, cover, and steam.) Bring water to a boil.
- Place the sheet pan in the steamer, cover, and steam for 6 minutes, or until you see bubbles on top of the mixture. If you need more water- water tends to evaporate-add boiling, not cold, water so as not to stop the steaming.
- Carefully remove the sheet pan from the steamer and set on a work surface (it will be hot, so be prudent). Let cool for a minute or so. Then, using a bench scraper, start rolling the rice roll from the top of the pan away from you until folded into a loose roll. Cut in half widthwise.
- Brush the pan with oil again and repeat until you've used up all the batter.
- When ready to serve, briefly re-steam the rolls for 1 to 2 minutes until hot.
- Sweet dipping sauce:
- Heat a small saucepan to medium-low heat and add all ingredients. Stir until sugar and chicken powder are dissolved. Spoon atop rice rolls.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat the water until boiling. Add the softened rice stick noodles and swirl in the hot water, then cook until just tender, 10-15 seconds. Drain thoroughly in a colander and rinse under cold water. Clip the noodles into 3 inch lengths and place into a medium serving container.
- Chop the fresh herbs and peanuts as above and place each in an individual serving container (small bowl or ramekin).
- Peel and de-vein the shrimp, remove the tails. If shrimp are large, cut in to thirds. Season shrimp in a mixing bowl with lemongrass paste (you can use finely chopped fresh lemongrass if available), salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly and saute in a large pan with peanut oil until shrimp are just cooked. Do not overcook. Remove from heat and place in a serving container.
- To make the dipping sauce: In a small mixing bowl, soak the crushed red pepper in lime juice for several minutes Add the garlic, sugar, and fish sauce and stir to dissolve the sugar. Transfer to a serving container and add the grated carrots and serve at room temperature Refrigerated, the sauce will keep in a tightly covered container for up to 5 days.
- To Serve: Arrange lettuce on a large platter surrounded by the containers of chopped herbs, etc. and dipping sauce. To make a wrap, take a lettuce leaf in hand, place a small bundle of rice stick noodles on the leaf, scoop a large tablespoon of shrimp on to lettuce leaf, then add any herbs that you like.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in this recipe add flavor, texture, and color. You can use any vegetables you like, but some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peppers, and broccoli.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
- Serve the wraps immediately: These wraps are best served immediately after they are made. The rice will start to harden as it cools, so don't let them sit for too long.
