Ingredients
For the Rolls
- 8 large rice paper wrappers
- 4 oz vermicelli noodles
- 24 large cooked shrimp peeled
- green leaf lettuce
- 8 green onions trimmed
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup pea shoots or microgreens
- 1 small cucumber julienned
- 1 medium carrot julienned
- fresh mint leaves optional
- fresh cilantro optional
For the Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce
- ⅓ cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1-2 tsp sriracha or chili sauce to taste
- 1-2 tsp warm water to thin
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the rice vermicelli noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3–4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside. - Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha. Add warm water a little at a time, whisking until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency. Set aside. - Soften the Rice Paper
Fill a large shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5–10 seconds, just until it becomes pliable. Be careful not to over-soak; the wrapper will continue to soften as you assemble. - Assemble the Rolls
Place the softened rice paper on a cutting board or clean surface.In the lower third of the wrapper, arrange 3 shrimp along with a few mint and cilantro leaves, if using. Top with a piece of lettuce, a small amount of carrot, green onion, cucumber, bean sprouts, pea shoots, and a small bundle of vermicelli noodles.Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito.Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings. - Serve
Arrange the spring rolls on a lightly oiled platter or a tray lined with lettuce leaves to prevent sticking. Serve immediately with the spicy peanut dipping sauce on the side.
