These tasty Vietnamese spring rolls make a refreshing change from the usual fried variety and will become a firm family favorite. They are great as a cool summertime appetizer and taste even better when dipped in one of the accompanying sauces.
Ingredients for Vietnamese Spring Rolls:
Method of preparing the Vietnamese Spring Rolls:
-
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Boil the rice noodles for 3-5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain.
-
Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one of the wrappers into the hot water for 1 second to soften.
-
Lay the 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 either side.
-
Fold the uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, starting at the end with the lettuce. Repeat 7 more times.
-
Make the first sauce. In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, water, lime, garlic, sugar, and chili sauce.
-
Prepare the second sauce. In another small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and peanuts.
-
Serve the spring rolls with the fish sauce and hoisin sauce for dipping on the side.
