Fresh and flavorful spring rolls filled with vegetables, shrimp, and vermicelli noodles, served with a delicious peanut dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 spring roll wrappers (rice paper)
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and halved
  • 1 cup vermicelli noodles, cooked according to package directions and cooled
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded cucumber
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (for garnish, optional)
  • For the Peanut Dipping Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup warm water (or more, to reach desired consistency)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare all your ingredients. Cook the shrimp and vermicelli noodles. Shred the vegetables and chop the mint.
  2. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one spring roll wrapper into the warm water for about 15-20 seconds, until it is pliable.
  3. Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean work surface.
  4. Arrange a small amount of lettuce, carrots, cucumber, mint, and vermicelli noodles in the center of the wrapper, leaving space on the sides.
  5. Place 2-3 shrimp halves on top of the vegetables.
  6. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides.
  7. Tightly roll the wrapper from the bottom to the top, creating a neat spring roll.
  8. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  9. To make the peanut dipping sauce, combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add more warm water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  10. Serve the spring rolls immediately with the peanut dipping sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.

Notes

  • Do not oversoak the spring roll wrappers, or they will become too delicate to handle.
  • Dip your fingers in water if the wrappers become too sticky.
  • You can customize the filling with other vegetables like bell peppers, bean sprouts, or avocado.
  • Tofu or chicken can be used as alternatives to shrimp.
  • The peanut sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
