Ingredients

    Spring roll:
    12 rice paper rounds (banh trang)
    3 oz. rice vermicelli noodle
    12 tiger prawns, deveined, cook, unpeeled and split in halves
    1/2 small head green leaf, or romaine lettuce
    1 large cucumber,
    1/4 cup of cilantro or any herb of your choice

    Sauce:
    1/4 cup roasted peanuts, ground, for garnish
    1 tsp chili paste
    1/2 cup water
    3/4 tsp sugar
    3-4 tbsp peanut butter
    1/4 cup hoisin sauce



Directions

For the noodle: boil a medium saucepan with water, cook the noodle for 5-7 minutes or until it soft, drain it with cold water and set aside.
Shrimp: Put the Shrimp in a sauce pan with cover, cook the shrimp till pink and opaque, around two to three minutes or so. Take out the shrimp and let it sit for a little to cool off. Peel and slice the shrimp in half lengthwise.
vegetables; Peel apart the lettuce leaves and slices into thin strips. Peel and julienne the carrots and cucumber; mince up the herbs and cilantro. (Remember to wash all vegetables carefully.)
to roll the spring roll; you’ll need a large bowl or pan, big enough to accommodate the rice paper round. Fill with warm water, and soak one wrapper at a time until it’s soft .

Lay the wrapper on a plate or other clean flat surface. In a row across the bottom third of the wrapper, put 2 prawns halves pink side down, some vermicelli,lettuce and a few leaves of basil. Leaving about 4-5cm on each.

Fold up the bottom, then the two sides inward, then start to roll tightly and firmly from the end that is near to you into a cylinder, enclosing the filling completely. Be careful not to tug too tightly to avoid tearing the wrapper.

Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Sauce: Add all the hoisen sauce ingredients together in a pot and bring it to boil, and garnish with ground peanuts when serve. Remember if you like it sweeter, just add sugar
