The Method

1
Prepare all ingredients: Cook rice noodles according to package instructions. Chop vegetables and herbs. Peel and devein shrimp.
2
Prepare the peanut sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and hot sauce. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
3
Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable but not too soft.
4
Lay the softened rice paper on a flat surface. Place a lettuce leaf in the center, followed by a small portion of rice noodles, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and a generous amount of fresh herbs. Arrange 3-4 shrimp halves on top.
5
Fold the sides of the rice paper inward, then tightly roll the summer roll from the bottom up, like a burrito.
6
Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining ingredients.
7
Serve immediately with peanut sauce for dipping.

Chef's Tips

Don't oversoak the rice paper, as it will become too sticky and difficult to handle.

Arrange ingredients in a neat row to make rolling easier.

For a vegetarian option, substitute tofu or avocado for the shrimp.

You can prepare the peanut sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.

Add bean sprouts or sprouts for more texture and nutrients
