20 Easy Vietnamese Spring Roll Recipe Get Ready To Indulge!

Ingredients:

For the filling:

• Protein of your choice: You can use cooked shrimp, chicken, pork, or tofu as the protein in your spring rolls.
• Rice paper wrappers: These can be found in the international aisle of most grocery stores or at an Asian market.
• Vermicelli noodles: These thin rice noodles add a nice texture to the spring rolls.
• Vegetables: Use a variety of fresh and crisp vegetables like lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers.
• Herbs: Cilantro, mint, and Thai basil are commonly used in Vietnamese spring rolls.
• Dipping sauce: A traditional peanut dipping sauce or a sweet chili sauce are both great options to serve with the spring rolls.

For the peanut dipping sauce:

• Peanut butter: Use creamy or chunky peanut butter for the sauce.
• Hoisin sauce: This adds sweetness and depth of flavor to the sauce.
• Soy sauce: This adds saltiness and umami to the sauce.
• Lime juice: This adds a tangy element to balance out the sweetness.
• Sriracha: If you like a bit of heat, add some sriracha to the sauce.
• Water: This is used to thin out the sauce to a desired consistency.

Instructions:

1. Prepare all the ingredients by cooking the protein, soaking the vermicelli noodles, and washing and cutting the vegetables and herbs.
2. Fill a large bowl with warm water and place a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10 seconds until it softens. Lay it flat on a damp towel.
3. Place a few pieces of each ingredient in the center of the rice paper wrapper. Be careful not to overfill it.
4. Roll the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the sides in and continue rolling until it is tightly wrapped.
5. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
6. To make the peanut dipping sauce, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl until well combined.
7. Serve the spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce and enjoy!

Tips:

• Be sure to use warm water when soaking the rice paper wrappers. If the water is too cold, the wrappers will not soften properly.
• Don't overfill the spring rolls as it will make them difficult to roll and they may tear.
• Experiment with different fillings and dipping sauces to find your favorite combination.
