Ingredients
  

  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 16 cooked shrimp, peeled and halved lengthwise
  • 2 ounces rice vermicelli noodles, cooked and cooled
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup julienned cucumber
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Method
 

  1. Prep. Cook rice vermicelli according to package directions. Rinse under cold water and drain. Prepare all vegetables and herbs and lay them out within reach.
  2. Dip. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10 to 15 seconds until pliable but still slightly firm (it will continue to soften). Lay flat on a damp cutting board.
  3. Roll. Place a small handful of noodles, lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and herbs in the center. Lay 4 shrimp halves across the top. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito.
  4. Sauce. Whisk together peanut butter, hoisin sauce, sriracha, warm water, and lime juice until smooth. Serve the rolls with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Don't over-soak the rice paper. 10 to 15 seconds is enough. It keeps softening after you take it out. Keep a damp towel over finished rolls to prevent them from drying out. Roll tightly but don't pull too hard or the rice paper will tear.
