Spring Rolls
- Prep Your Ingredients: Slice avocado, julienne cucumber, and cook the vermicelli noodles (if using).
- Soak Rice Paper: Dip a spring roll wrapper in large bowl or mixing bowl with lukewarm water for a few seconds until it softens. Lay it flat on a clean surface like a cutting board.
- Layer the Fillings: Place lettuce, herbs, a few slices of avocado, cucumber, and shrimp onto the rice paper.
- Roll It Up: Fold the sides over the filling, then give it a tight roll from bottom to top like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining spring roll wrappers.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and watch these rolls disappear!
Peanut Sauce
- Sauté Garlic: Heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup peanut butter, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, ¼ cup milk, and the juice of 1 lime.
- Cook the Sauce: Pour the mixture into the pan with the garlic. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens. If it's too thin, add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) and cook until thickened.
- Serve: Let the sauce cool slightly, then serve it as a dipping sauce for spring rolls. Enjoy!
