Ingredients

  1. 12 cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  2. 12 rice paper wrappers
  3. 1 cup rice vermicelli noodles, cooked
  4. 1 cup lettuce (such as butter lettuce or romaine), thinly sliced
  5. 1/2 cucumber, julienned
  6. 1/2 red bell pepper, julienned
  7. 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  8. 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  9. 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
  10. 1/4 cup peanut butter
  11. 2 tbsp soy sauce
  12. 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  13. 1 tbsp honey
  14. 1–2 tsp water (to adjust consistency)
  15. 1 tsp sesame oil
  16. 1 clove garlic, minced
  17. 1/2 tsp chili paste or sriracha (optional for heat)

Instructions

For the Salad Rolls: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable. Lay it flat on a clean surface.

  1. Assemble the rolls: In the center of the rice paper, place a small handful of rice noodles, a few pieces of lettuce, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado slices (if using), and a few shrimp. Add a few sprigs of cilantro and mint leaves.
  2. Roll the wraps: Fold in the sides of the rice paper and roll it up tightly, making sure everything is securely wrapped inside. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  3. For the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and chili paste (if using). Add water to adjust the consistency.
  4. Serve: Serve the rolls immediately with a side of peanut sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh herbs or crushed peanuts if desired.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap shrimp for grilled chicken, tofu, or beef.
  • If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more honey to taste.
  • For added flavor, try adding mango slices or avocado to the rolls.
  • Wrap the rolls tightly to prevent them from falling apart.
