Vietnamese Rice Rolls

On a hot summer day, Vietnamese Rice Rolls are perfect for a light and healthy lunch. The ingredients are simple and easy to put together.  It's also a fun family activity when all the ingredients are put on the table and everyone makes their own rolls. 

These are availalbe at Vietnamese grocery stores.  Soak for 5 seconds in warm water and use while still stiff.  It will soften very quickly, even as you put ingredients on top.  Can use two sheets together if you find they break too easily.

 Vietnmaese or Chinese rice vermiceilli can be used.

I use precooked cocktail shrimp that have been thawed and tails removed. 




Sauce Recipe:
1 tablespoon peanut butter
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup water
Heat over stove until peanut butter is melted and stir till sauce is smooth.  Adjust to taste and desired consistency.
