Vietnamese Spring Rolls With Peanut Sauce
45 Minutes
Ingredients
Spring Rolls:
- 2 oz. (55g) vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 cup (75g) lettuce, leaves torn
- 1 cup (90g) red cabbage, shredded
- 2 medium carrots, peeled, cut into matchsticks
- 1 cucumber, sliced into strips
- ¼ cup (125g) spring onions, sliced
- ¼ cup (12g) coriander, chopped
- ¼ cup (12g) mint, chopped
- 16 oz. (450g) cooked prawns
- 8 sheets rice paper (spring roll wrappers)
Peanut Sauce:
- ⅓ cup (80g) smooth peanut butter
- 2 tbsp. rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp. tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-3 tablespoons water, as needed
For the spring rolls:
- Prepare the noodles according to instructions on packaging. Drain and rinse them under cool water, and place in a bowl. Toss the noodles with the sesame oil and salt and set aside.
- Fill a shallow pan or container with an inch of water. Fold a lint-free tea towel in half and place it next to the dish. Make sure you have prepared all the other ingredients and have them close by.
- Place one rice paper in the water and let it soak for about 10-20 seconds. Remove it from the water and carefully lay it flat on the towel. Leaving about 1 inch of the rice paper around the edges, cover the lower third of the paper with 2-3 prawns, a few pieces of butter lettuce, followed by all the other ingredients. Sprinkle generously with a mixture of the herbs. Ensure that there is not too much filling as you want to be able to fold the rice paper.
- Fold the lower edge up over the fillings, rolling upward just until the filling is compactly enclosed. Fold over the short sides like you would to make a burrito. Lastly, roll it up. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
For the peanut sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, rice vinegar, tamari, honey, sesame oil, and garlic. Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons of water, just enough to achieve a dip-like consistency.
- Serve the spring rolls with peanut sauce on the side as a dip. Serve them whole, or sliced in half on the diagonal with a sharp chef’s knife.
