Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 rice paper wrappers

- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by cooking the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, peeling and deveining the shrimp, and chopping the vegetables and herbs.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds until it becomes soft and pliable. Place the wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
- In the center of the wrapper, layer 2 shrimp, a small handful of vermicelli noodles, lettuce, bean sprouts, mint, cilantro, peanuts, carrots, and cucumber.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, similar to a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
- To make the peanut dipping sauce, combine 1/4 cup of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 2-3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Serve the fresh rolls with the peanut dipping sauce and enjoy!
