Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ounces rice vermicelli
8 rice wrappers (8.5 inch diameter)
8 large cooked shrimp - peeled, deveined and cut in half
1 ⅓ tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 leaves lettuce, chopped
4 teaspoons fish sauce
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon garlic chili sauce
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon finely chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Boil rice vermicelli 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain.
  • Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper into the hot water for 1 second to soften. Lay wrapper flat. In a row across the center, place 2 shrimp halves, a handful of vermicelli, basil, mint, cilantro and lettuce, leaving about 2 inches uncovered on each side. Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end with the lettuce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, water, lime juice, garlic, sugar and chili sauce.
  • In another small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and peanuts.
  • Serve rolled spring rolls with the fish sauce and hoisin sauce mixtures.

I wasn't a big fan of the peanut sauce that came with the recipe. I prefer a sweeter sauce.

I've made these spring rolls gluten-free by using rice paper wrappers instead of wheat wrappers.
