Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Spring Rolls:
- 8-10 rice paper wrappers
- 8-10 large lettuce leaves
- 1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup julienned cucumber
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
For the Peanut Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2-4 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency)
Instructions:
- Prepare all the ingredients and have them ready for assembly.
- Fill a large shallow dish or a pie plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds until it softens. Place it on a clean, damp kitchen towel or a plate.
- On the bottom third of the softened rice paper wrapper, place a lettuce leaf. Top it with a small handful of cooked vermicelli noodles, julienned carrots, julienned cucumber, bean sprouts, fresh mint leaves, cilantro leaves, and basil leaves.
- Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a neat roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- For the Peanut Dipping Sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and sriracha sauce until smooth. Add water gradually, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve your desired dipping sauce consistency.
- Serve the Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls with the Peanut Dipping Sauce on the side.
To enjoy the spring rolls, dip them into the Peanut Dipping Sauce and savor the fresh and crisp combination of vegetables, herbs, and noodles. The flavors are enhanced by the deliciously nutty and tangy sauce, creating a delightful experience for your taste buds. Embrace the freshness of Vietnamese cuisine and indulge in these delectable spring rolls!
