Vietnamese Summer Rolls
I’ve always loved meals that feel as fresh and vibrant as they look—and these Vietnamese summer rolls are exactly that. They’re perfect for warm-weather dinners when I’m craving something light but still satisfying. With crisp veggies, tender shrimp, and plenty of fresh herbs wrapped in delicate rice paper, they’re the kind of hands-on meal that’s fun to assemble and even more fun to eat.

Instructions
- 01
Prepare all ingredients in advance. Cook, drain, and cool the vermicelli noodles; cook the shrimp (if not using pre-cooked). Slice the vegetables and herbs.
- 02
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Gently dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-10 seconds, until it softens, but don’t soak them too long to prevent it from tearing.
- 03
Lay the softened rice paper on a flat surface or cutting board.
- 04
Place a small amount of each ingredient in the center of the rice paper— vermicelli noodles, shrimp, lettuce, bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber, and mint leaves. Be sure not to overfill.
- 05
Fold in the sides of the rice paper and then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, like wrapping a burrito.
- 06
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Set prepared rolls aside.
- 07
In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, garlic, and crushed chili. Add water a little at a time to achieve your desired consistency.
- 08
Serve the summer rolls with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy.
