Vietnamese Spring Roll with Peanut Sauce Dressing


I love Vietnamese Spring Roll! It's healthy, colorful and yummy! It's also very easy to make; just a lot of preparations to be done.

Ingredients for spring roll:
115 gram rice vermicelli
1 tsp sesame oil
12 large rice paper wrappers
36 cooked large shrimps
1/2 sweet red bell pepper
1/2 sweet yellow bell pepper
1 English cucumber, seeded, cut in thin strips
1/2 mango, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup fresh cilantro

Ingredients for peanut sauce dressing:
1/4 cup crunch peanut butter
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. hot sauce (you can adjust this according to your taste bud)
3 tbsp. water
Mixed all together in a bowl, set aside.

Preparation:
Break rice vermicelli in a bowl and pour hot boiling water on top. Soak until tender about 3 minutes. Drain well and toss with sesame oil.

Fill in a shallow bowl with warm water. Soak rice paper one at the time in a water until softened and pliable, about 30 seconds.
Spread wrapper on a clean kitchen towel.
Along the bottom third of wrapper place 3 shrimps, top with vermicelli, red and yellow peppers, mango, and cucumber. Top with mint and cilantro.

Roll wrapper over filling. Fold the side over like an envelope. Place seam down on a tray, and repeat for the remaining.
