How To Make Vietnamese Spring Rolls
Quick to prepare and can be served as an entree or healthy appetizer, this is my step-by-step tutorial for making homemade Vietnamese spring rolls at home.
Ingredients
- 12 rice paper wrappers for spring rolls
- 24 Shrimp peeled and deveined halved horizontally, cooked
- 12 leaves lettuce leafy green
- 4 ounces rice vermicelli noodles prepared according to package directions
- 1 avocado (pitted and sliced)
- ½ cup red cabbage shredded
- ½ cup carrot shredded
- ½ cup cilantro sprigs
Hoisin Dipping Sauce
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- peanuts optional, crushed
Instructions
- Boil 8 cups of water and keep warm.
- Whisk together hoisin dipping sauce and set aside.
- To soften the rice paper, fill a shallow pie plate with boiling water. Add one rice paper at a time and soak for 5 seconds then move to a plate to fill and roll. (Careful not to over-soak!)
- Working from the center of the roll, place one lettuce leaf and top with a couple tablespoons of vermicelli noodles. Top noodles with a small amount of shredded carrots and cabbage, one slice avocado, three shrimp halves and a couple sprigs of cilantro.
- Fold in the sides then bring bottom up over the filling and tuck while rolling tightly.
- Place on a platter seam side down and continue rolling remaining 11 sheets.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature with reserved dipping sauce.
