Spring Rolls

I love having asian-cooking-savvy friends... AKA Jen :o)

Today: Spring Rolls. Like the kind you get at restaurants. They're ridiculously easy!

Gather your ingredients:


boiled shrimp
cooked pork marinated in fish sauce (make sure it's gluten free)
rice vermicelli
carrot sticks (boiled so they're not too crunchy)
cucumber sticks
lettuce
rice spring roll wrappers (check, some have gluten)
peanuts or peanut sauce

Step 1:
Dip the spring roll wrappers in warm water. Just get it wet; don't soak it.


Step 2:
Place the wrapper on a plate and add lettuce. Placing the lettuce on first helps you roll it without tearing the rice paper.


Step 3:
Add rice vermicelli


Step 4:
Add all of the other fixins


Step 5:
Start rolling like a burrito, tucking the ends in so stuff doesn't fall out


See? Easy! (Sort of, haha)



Dip in GF fish sauce, GF soy sauce, or your favorite stuff.
