Vietnamese Spring Rolls
These fresh spring rolls are packed with vibrant ingredients and can be customized to suit your taste. Serve them with a tangy dipping sauce for the perfect balance of flavors.
Ingredients
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, sliced in half
- 1 cup vermicelli noodles, cooked
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 1 cup lettuce leaves, torn into pieces
- Fresh herbs (such as mint and cilantro)
- Dipping sauce of your choice (hoisin or peanut sauce works well)
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients by chopping and slicing them into suitable sizes. Ensure the shrimp is cooked and the vermicelli noodles are ready.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds, just until it begins to soften but is not fully pliable.
- Lay the softened wrapper onto a clean surface. In the lower third of the wrapper, place a couple of shrimp halves, a small handful of vermicelli noodles, and a mix of the vegetables and herbs you prefer.
- Start rolling the spring roll from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go, until it’s securely wrapped. The rice paper will continue to soften as you work.
- Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
- Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and serve them alongside your chosen dipping sauce.
Enjoy these refreshing Vietnamese Spring Rolls as an appetizer or a light meal. They are not only easy to make but also a fun way to bring a burst of flavor to your dining table. Happy cooking!
