Ingredients

  • 2 oz rice vermicelli
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 rice wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 8 large cooked shrimp peeled and cut in half
  • 1 minced clove of garlic
  • 1 1/3 tablespoons chopped Thai basil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic chili sauce
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 lettuce leaves chopped
  • 4 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chopped peanuts

Instructions

  • Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Boil rice vermicelli for 3-5 minutes, or until al dente, then drain.
  • With the warm water, fill a large bowl. Dip one wrapper into the water for a second to soften. Lay the wrapper flat. In a row across the center place 2 shrimp (halves), a hand full of vermicelli, mint, cilantro, basil, and lettuce. Leave 2 inches uncovered on each side. Fold the uncovered sides in, and tightly roll the wrapper by starting at the end with the lettuce. Repeat with the rest of your ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, mix your water, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and chile sauce.
  • In a different bow, mix the peanuts and hoisin sauce.
  • Serve the spring rolls with the fish sauce and hoisin sauce mixtures.
