Ingredients

For the Base Ingredients

• Rice Paper (Bánh Tráng)
• Shrimp
• Pork Loin
• Garlic Chives
• Vietnamese Rice Vermicelli (Bún)

For the Optional Ingredients

• Bean Sprouts
• Sliced Cucumber
• Lettuce
• Pickled Carrots and Radish
• Fresh herbs (mint, Thai basil, Vietnamese perilla, fish mint, coriander, etc)

Directions

1. Boil both the shrimp and pork slices to cook them
2. Cut ingredients into slices optional for your rice paper sheet, and cut the shrimp into flat halves
3. Prepare all your ingredients on the table and be ready to assemble your fresh spring rolls
4. Begin by dipping your rice paper into a big bowl of warm water, no need to keep it in the water for long, just make sure the whole sheet is wet
5. Place the rice paper sheet onto a plate (it will begin to soften on the plate)
6. Pick one spot on the sheet and start by laying down any greens you have (lettuce, herbs)
7. Put a bed of noodles (bún) so all the other ingredients have a flexible base to be on
8. Put sprouts, cucumbers, and pork on top
9. Fold upwards once, and then fold in the left and right side of the rice paper
10. Put 2–3 shrimps and some garlic chives on the sheet
11. Keep rolling until the roll is complete. You’ve made a fresh spring roll. YUM!
12. Use your sauce of choice, I have a peanut-y hoisin sauce in the photo but dipping fish sauce would also be great. Recipes for those will be up later!
