Ingredients

Peanut Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • chili oil, optional, to taste

Spring Rolls:

  • 12 spring roll rice papers
  • 12 pieces butter lettuce
  • 4 oz. vermicelli noodles, cooked according to package directions
  • 1 ½ cups julienned vegetables (1 bell pepper, cucumber, carrot)
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves

 

Directions

  • In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the peanut dipping sauce, set aside.
  • Quickly dip a sheet of rice paper in the lukewarm water to moisten the entire surface. This should take no longer than a few seconds.
  • Lay the wet rice paper on your work surface. Place a piece of butter lettuce close to the bottom edge of the rice paper. Arrange a small pinch each of rice noodles, bell pepper, carrots, cucumber, green onion, cilantro and mint leaves over the center of the lettuce leaf.
  • Arrange 3 pieces of shrimp about 1 ½ to 2 inches below the top edge of the rice paper. Make sure that the orange/pink side is facing down.
  • Grab the lower edge of the rice paper and lettuce and start rolling up the spring roll. Once you have reached the shrimp, fold in the left and right sides. Finish rolling up the spring roll all the way to the end.
  • Repeat the rolling process with the rest of the ingredients. If the chopping board is dry, brush some water over the board to avoid the wrappers from sticking.
  • Serve the spring rolls with the dipping sauce.
