Ingredients
  

Spring Roll

  • 1 cup rice vermicelli noodles
  • 6 rice wrappers
  • 1 hot house cucumber-julienned
  • 1 carrot-julienned
  • 1 1/2 cups red cabbage-sliced thin
  • 1 head butter lettuce leafs
  • 1 red bell pepper-sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 12 shrimp-peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup mint

Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tbsp housin sauce
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp sriracha
  • hot water to thin if needed

Instructions
 

Spring Rolls

  • Bring 2 pots of water to boil. One is for the shrimp and the other is for the vermicelli noodles.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp and put in an ice bath. Drain and place in fridge while preparing the remaining ingredients.
  • Cook the vermicelli noodles for 8 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl. Set aside while prepping the remaining ingredients.
  • Fill a shallow dish with water or use a spring roll wetter. I absolutely love mine. Take 1 wrapper and dip in the water for a few seconds. Shake off the excess water and place onto a clean dry flat surface.
  • Towards the bottom third of the wrapper place some lettuce leaves, basil, cilantro, and mint. Layer the vermicelli noodles, cucumber, carrots, cabbage and bell pepper. Place the shrimp cut in half horizontally on the opposite 1/3 of the wrapper. Start rolling the wrapper like a burrito ending with the shrimp so you see the shrimp through the wrapper. Roll the wrapper as tightly as you can.
  • See the video below for help rolling the wrapper.

Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add hot water to thin it. It can thicken when sitting so you might need to add water to loosen it.
