Spring Rolls Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vermicelli

   Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   Cook the Shrimp

   In a pot of boiling water, cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Drain and set aside.

3. 3

   Prep Fresh Ingredients

   Prepare the fresh vegetables: julienne the cucumber, wash the basil and cilantro, and wash the lettuce leaves.

4. 4

   Soak Rice Paper

   Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes pliable. Lay it flat on a clean surface.

5. 5

   Assemble the Rolls

   On the bottom third of the rice paper, layer a small amount of vermicelli noodles, shrimp, basil, cilantro, lettuce, cucumber, and garlic chives. Be careful not to overfill.

6. 6

   Roll the Spring Roll

   Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling tightly. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the spring rolls with your choice of dipping sauce.
