How to Make Fresh Spring Rolls
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the vermicelli noodles for just a few minutes according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Collect all your delicious toppings—chopped veggies, fresh herbs, and cooked shrimp—on a large cutting board or plate.
- Pour about 1 inch of warm water into a large, deep dish or pie pan. Immerse one rice wrapper into the water, letting it soak for just 10-15 seconds until soft.
- On the bottom third of the spring roll wrapper, layer 1-2 slices of your prepared veggies, a few shrimp, a pinch of vermicelli noodles, and a couple of leaves from each herb.
- Tuck the sides of the spring roll in tightly over the fillings. Start rolling from the bottom edge closest to you, just like wrapping a burrito.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the sweet chili sauce, peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Pulse until smooth and creamy.
Notes
