Fresh Ingredients
  • 10-12 sheets Rice paper wrappers Make sure they are halal-certified
  • 1 cup Shrimp or tofu, cooked and chopped Substitute according to preference
  • 1-2 cups Lettuce leaves, washed and dried

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Before you start assembling your spring rolls, wash and slice all your vegetables nicely. Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions and set them aside to cool.
Assembly
  1. Fill a shallow dish or bowl with warm water. Take one rice paper wrapper and dip it into the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it is softened but still slightly firm.
  2. Place the softened rice paper on a clean, flat surface. In the center of the wrapper, layer a small handful of lettuce, a few shrimp or tofu pieces, some rice noodles, carrots, cucumbers, and a sprinkle of mint and cilantro.
  3. Fold the sides of the rice paper over the fillings. Then, starting from the bottom, carefully roll the wrapper upwards, tucking in the filling as you go. Roll tightly but not too tight, ensuring that the ingredients stay in place without tearing the paper.
  4. Once you have all the rolls wrapped, serve them freshly made with your favorite dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy these Fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls immediately for the best texture!

Notes

You can customize your rolls! Instead of shrimp, try grilled chicken or more vegetables for a vegetarian option. Use fresh herbs for maximum flavor. Prepare and assemble the rolls right before serving to keep the rice paper from getting soggy. Avoid adding too much filling to prevent tearing.
