The Vietnamese fresh spring rolls are a refreshing and delicious way to eat your greens. You can add any veggies and herbs you want. I like adding shrimp and for those allergic, I highly recommend adding smoked salmon instead.
Peanut Dipping Sauce
Add all the sauce ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and heat it up for 30 seconds.
Stir until well combined.
In a pot, add the water and salt. Bring to a boil.
Once it's boiling, add the shrimp and let it cook for 2 minutes.
Remove from water once it's cooked.
Once it cools, slice the shrimp in half lengthwise like you are about to butterfly the shrimp but cut it all the way.
Making the spring rolls
Soak the rice paper in water for 10 seconds.
Place the softened rice on a dry surface.
Add a generous amount of vegetables and herbs to the bottom part of the rice paper but leaving about 1 inch of space at the bottom and sides.
Gently cover the fillings with the bottom edge of the rice paper and roll up once. Make sure to tightly tuck in the fillings before rolling up.
Flip the right side inwards then the left. Add 3 shrimp halves/2 smoked salmon slices on top of the roll and press down while rolling up so it stays in place.
Continue rolling until the end. Serve and enjoy!
