For the Spring Rolls

For the Peanut Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter Swap with almond butter for a nut-free alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cooking the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions, usually around 3–5 minutes, then drain and set aside. If you’re using shrimp, cook them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, and a splash of warm water until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness by adding more water if necessary.
  3. Fill a shallow dish or plate with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 5-10 seconds until soft and pliable.
  4. Place the softened rice paper wrapper flat on a clean surface. Layer with lettuce leaves, vermicelli noodles, cucumber, carrot strips, and your choice of shrimp or tofu.
  5. Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold the sides inward tightly and roll from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling securely.
  6. Arrange the completed Vietnamese spring rolls on a serving platter, and serve alongside the peanut sauce for dipping.
