Method

Preparing the Spring Rolls

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice Vermicelli

    In a pot, bring water to a boil and add rice vermicelli noodles. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until soft. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a pan, bring water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from water and let cool, then chop into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin strips. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Herbs

    Wash and dry the mint and cilantro leaves. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Spring Rolls

    Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10 seconds until soft. Lay the wrapper on a flat surface. Place a lettuce leaf, a small amount of vermicelli, shrimp, carrots, cucumbers, mint, and cilantro in the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides over and then roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
