Hey everyone! Thought I’d share my go-to recipe for Vietnamese spring rolls. They’re so fresh, light, and full of flavor—perfect for when you want something satisfying but not heavy. I like to make a batch for family dinners or even as a snack for myself. Plus, they’re super fun to roll up! Here’s how I do it:

Ingredients:​

  • Rice paper wrappers (found in most Asian grocery stores)
  • Vermicelli noodles (1 package, cooked and drained)
  • Shrimp (12-15 medium, cooked and sliced in half lengthwise)
  • Lettuce leaves (Bibb or Romaine work best)
  • Fresh herbs: Mint, basil, and cilantro (use as much as you like!)
  • Cucumber (1, cut into thin strips)
  • Carrot (1, julienned)
  • Bean sprouts (optional but adds a nice crunch)

For the dipping sauce:​

  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp warm water (or a bit more for a smoother sauce)
  • 1 tsp sriracha (optional for a bit of heat)
  • Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions:​

  1. Prep the filling ingredients: Arrange everything (noodles, shrimp, veggies, and herbs) on a plate, so it’s easy to assemble.
  2. Prepare the rice paper: Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for about 5 seconds, then lay it flat on a damp towel or clean surface (they soften quickly!).
  3. Add fillings: Place a small handful of noodles, a few herb leaves, a lettuce leaf, and some cucumber, carrot, and shrimp in the center.
  4. Roll it up: Fold the sides in first, then tightly roll it from the bottom up. It might take a few tries to get it snug, but you’ll get the hang of it!
  5. Make the sauce: Mix the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and warm water in a small bowl until smooth. Add sriracha for heat if you like and top with crushed peanuts.
  6. Enjoy! Dip and savor! 🥢
