Ingredients:
1/4 pound rice stick noodles |
1/2 pound peeled and deveined shrimp |
2 cups shredded carrots |
2 cups shredded napa cabbage |
1/2 cup loosely packed, roughly chopped basil leaves |
1/2 cup loosely packed, roughly chopped cilantro leaves |
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and grated |
1 package vietnamese rice sheets |
ginger lime dipping sauce, recipe follows |
Directions:
1. Place rice noodles in a large pot of boiling water, stir. Add shrimp. Cook until noodles are al dente and shrimp is just cooked, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Lift out the shrimp, set aside to cool. Drain and rinse noodles.
2. When shrimp is cool enough to handle, cut into small pieces. Place in a non-reactive salad bowl with noodles, carrots, cabbage, basil and cilantro. Toss to combine.
3. To prepare rice paper wrappers: Fill a large pan or bowl with hot tap water. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into water, lift out, and drain briefly. Set on a flat surface.
4. To assemble salad rolls: Place 1/2 cup filling in the center of each wrapper. To roll salad rolls, think diapering a baby the old fashioned way - with cloth diapers minus the diaper pins! Pressing down on filling, fold the bottom of each wrapper over filling, then fold in sides; roll tightly. Press edges to seal; if rice paper is too dry to form a proper seal, moisten unsealed edges with a little water. Set rolls on a platter and cover with a damp towel.
5. To serve, cut rolls crosswise in 1/2; stand pieces upright. Dip in Ginger Lime Dipping Sauce.
6. Ginger Lime Dipping Sauce:
7. 1/2 cup fish sauce
8. 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
9. 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
10. 1 garlic clove, minced
11. 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
12. 1/2 teaspoon Vietnamese chili paste
13. 1/2 cup loosely packed, roughly chopped cilantro leaves
14. 1/2 cup loosely packed, roughly chopped basil leaves
15. 1/2 cup loosely packed, roughly chopped mint leaves
16. Whisk together all ingredients in small non-reactive bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings.
