Vietnamese Spring Rolls Recipe - Fresh & Flavorful

Delight in fresh and healthy Vietnamese Spring Rolls! Quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion, these rolls are an excellent appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces rice vermicelli

• 8 rice wrappers (8.5-inch diameter)

• 8 large cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and halved

• 1 1/3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil

• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

• 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

• 2 lettuce leaves, chopped

• 1 carrot, thinly sliced

Dipping Sauces:

1. Fish Sauce Mixture:

   • 4 teaspoons fish sauce

   • 1/4 cup water

   • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

   • 1 clove garlic, minced

   • 2 tablespoons white sugar

   • 1/2 teaspoon garlic chili sauce

2. Hoisin Sauce Mixture:

   • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

   • 1 teaspoon finely chopped peanuts

Directions

Step 1
Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Boil rice vermicelli 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain. 

Step 2
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, carrots, 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.

Step 3
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.

Note: Serve rolled spring rolls with the fish sauce and hoisin sauce mixtures.

Tips for Success

• Soften the rice wrappers briefly; over-soaking makes them hard to handle.
• Keep rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying.
• Customize fillings with your favorite vegetables or proteins.
