PREPARATION OF VIETNAMESE SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS

  • Prepare the dipping sauce: Whisk the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and soy sauce together in a small bowl until smooth. Serve for dipping.
  • Soak the rice paper: In a large bowl, add warm water. Place all of your rice paper wrappers into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds or until soft and flexible.
  • Fill the rolls: Stuff the rolls with softened rice paper laid flat on a clean surface. Place a few slices of shrimp near the centre of the wrapper along with julienne-cut cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh mint.
  • Roll the spring rolls: Fold the bottom portion of the rice paper to roll it up from the bottom side over the filling tightly and roll up the rest.
  • Serve: The rolls can also be served halved, with dipping sauce on the side for each.

PREP TIME

15 minutes

COOKING TIME

None

TIPS

  • Use a clean, damp cloth on the rolling surface to prevent the rice paper from sticking.
  • Take care not to tear the rice paper. If a wrapper tears, you can wrap the roll with another new sheet of rice paper to double up.
  • You can then drizzle a small amount of lime juice over the filling before wrapping it for added flavour.

VARIATIONS

  • One can replace the shrimp with grilled chicken, tofu, or smoked salmon to enjoy different protein substitutes.
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or Thai basil are added for a much stronger aromatic flavour.
  • Add some sliced lettuce, cabbage, or very thinly sliced radish for extra crunch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: Wrap the spring rolls in an airtight container, cover them with a damp cloth, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Store the dipping sauce separately.
  • Freezing: It should not be frozen because the texture is lost when it thaws.
