Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls


Ingredients:

  • 14 round rice paper wrappers 
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 7 oz cooked shrimp 200g, peeled and sliced in half lengthwise (I weighted them before peeling them)
  • 14 lettuce leaves
  • 2 cups of your favourite vegetables
  • 3 cups fresh bean sprouts

Method: 

  1. Start by softening the rice papers. I like to use two rice papers per roll, just to make sure they don’t break. 
  2. Fill a large bowl with warm water. 
  3. Dip two rice papers (or one) very carefully and gradually for about 1 minute, until totally soften. 
  4. Remove from the bowl carefully.
  5. Lay rice papers on a clean cloth. 
  6. Make sure they lay flat and straighten out the odd wrinkle.
  7. Arrange about 4 beautiful mint leaves at the bottom of the rice paper.
  8. Then top with about 4 shrimp halves. 
  9. Top with a lettuce leaf, a handful of vermicelli and a small handful of bean sprouts 
  10. Top with a second lettuce leaf. Always keep about 2 inches uncovered on each side.
  11. Now the rolling part. Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the rice paper. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
