  • 5 oz rice vermicelli noodles, dry (cook then cool)
  • 8 oz medium cooked shrimp, peeled and halved lengthwise Pat dry so the rolls stay tight
  • 2 cup shredded romaine or butter lettuce
  • 1 cup carrot matchsticks
  • 1 cup cucumber sticks, seeded
  • 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves Thai basil if you have it
  • 0.33 cup sliced green onions
  • 0.25 cup roasted peanuts, chopped For crunch
  • 10 oz round rice paper wrappers Use 8–9 inch size
  • 0.33 cup creamy peanut butter For dipping sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce For dipping sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice For dipping sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar For dipping sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey For dipping sauce
  • 1 tsp minced garlic For dipping sauce
  • 1 tsp sriracha or chili sauce For dipping sauce; adjust to taste
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil For dipping sauce
  • 3 tbsp warm water For thinning the sauce

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, and warm water until smooth.
  • Cook vermicelli per package directions, rinse under cold water, and drain very well.
  • Prep fillings: shred lettuce, cut carrots and cucumber, slice green onions, pick herb leaves, and halve shrimp.
  • Set up a rolling station with a damp cutting board and a wide shallow bowl of warm water.
  • Soften one rice paper in warm water for 10–12 seconds, then lay it flat on the damp board.
  • Layer lettuce, a small bundle of noodles, carrots, cucumber, herbs, green onions, peanuts, and shrimp near the center.
  • Fold the sides over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom to seal.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve the rolls with the peanut dipping sauce.

Notes

Try swapping shrimp with baked tofu or shredded rotisserie chicken. Add avocado slices for extra creaminess. Keep rolled spring rolls under a slightly damp towel and refrigerate up to 4 hours; serve the sauce at room temp. Leftover sauce keeps 1 week chilled.
