Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook 12 medium shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque; drain and slice each shrimp in half lengthwise.
  2. Step 2: Prepare filling by combining 1 medium julienned carrot, 1 small julienned cucumber, 1 cup rinsed bean sprouts, 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, and 50 g soaked rice vermicelli noodles in a large bowl.
  3. Step 3: To assemble, soak each spring roll wrapper in warm water for 10 seconds until pliable, then lay flat on a clean surface. Place a small handful of the vegetable and noodle mixture near the bottom edge, top with 2 halved shrimp pieces, then fold the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
  4. Step 4: For the peanut dipping sauce, whisk together 1/3 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp honey, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 2-3 tbsp water until smooth and pourable.
  5. Step 5: Serve the fresh lumpia rolls chilled or at room temperature with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
