Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 2 cups Cooked shrimp, chicken, tofu, or other protein of choice
• 1 cup Carrot, julienned
• 1 cup Cucumber, julienned
• 12 pieces Fresh lettuce leaves
• 1 bunch Fresh mint leaves
• 1 bunch Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1.5 cups Cooked vermicelli noodles
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
• 3 tablespoons Water (for dipping sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the filling ingredients: julienne the carrots and cucumbers, wash the lettuce and fresh herbs, and cook the protein (if not already cooked).

Step 2

Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare a wide shallow dish with warm water for softening the rice paper wrappers.

Step 4

Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for 5-10 seconds until it softens. Remove it and place it on a clean work surface.

Step 5

Lay a piece of lettuce in the center of the rice paper, followed by a small amount of vermicelli noodles, julienned vegetables, protein, and a few fresh mint and cilantro leaves.

Step 6

Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it tightly to form a cylinder.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining rice paper wrappers and fillings.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, water, and lime juice to make the dipping sauce. Top with crushed peanuts for garnish if desired.

Step 9

Serve the rice paper rolls immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
