Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Rice Vermicelli: Cook rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, usually boiling for about 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
- Soak Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper for about 10 seconds until pliable, then lay flat on a clean surface.
- Fill Wrap: Place a small handful of rice vermicelli noodles on the bottom third of the soaked wrapper, followed by shredded carrots, red bell pepper, mint, cilantro, and shrimp if using. Avoid overfilling.
- Roll: Fold the bottom edge of rice paper over the filling and tuck gently. Fold in the sides, then continue rolling tightly until sealed. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Make Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper. Whisk until smooth, adding warm water for desired consistency.
- Serve: Arrange spring rolls on a platter and serve immediately with peanut sauce. Best enjoyed fresh.
