Mike's Vietnamese Spring Rolls step by step
- Chop all vegetable ingredients and chill in refrigerator until ready to assemble wraps..
- Dethaw shrimp and place in fridge until ready to assemble wraps..
- Boil Rice Vermicelli as per manufacturer directions minus one minute boil time..
- Strain water from Vermicelli but do not rinse..
- Add all ingredients in the Rice Vermicelli section to the base of the pot you boiled your Rice Vermicelli in..
- On a low heat, add Rice Vermicelli into those ingredients and gently stir until well mixed..
- Allow Vermicelli to cool down slightly..
- Authors Note: You also have the option of mixing Vermicelli and seasonings and all vegetables together for quicker and easier constriction. However, the layered technique [shown above] offers far more flavor and allows you to omit any vegetables certain guests may not find desirable..
- Heat a larger plastic bowl with 2" water in the microwave until hot..
- Place one Spring Roll Wrap in hot water for 13 to 18 seconds. 13 seconds works great for me. Be careful with these wet wraps since they can tear easily..
- Pull wrap out immediately and place evenly on a cutting board..
- Place Rice Vermicelli on the wrap and add each of your vegetables [except shreadded cabbage or lettuce] and shrimp. Don't pile it in too thick or your wrap won't roll properly..
- Gently but snugly fold the bottom half of the wrap upwards over the vegetables then fold the right and left sides inward..
- Gently but snugly roll up the rest of the wrap until sealed. Slightly wet down wrap with hands after it's sealed and place on a no stick surface or tinfoil..
- Repeat this process for all 12 wraps..
- Place all wraps on a serving plate covered with shreadded cabbage or lettuce. Repeat layer if stacking your wraps so they don't stick to one another..
- Chill well until ready to serve..
- Garnish wraps with leftover chopped vegetables and serve with soy sauce, a pre-fabed peanut sauce, a quality fish sauce and a spicy Thai Chili sauce! Siracha works great!.
- Authors Note: You can serve these wraps either fresh or fried..
