Vietnamese Salad Rolls
- 1 pound Steak, Side Pork and/or Shrimp
- 1 package Rice Noodles
- 1 package Round Rice Papers
- 1 whole English Cucumber, Cut Lengthwise Into Julienne Strips
- 1 head Butter Lettuce Or Dark Leaf Lettuce
- 1 bunch Thai Basil
- 1 bunch Cilantro
- 1 bunch Mint
- Prepare your meat as desired.
- My favourite is seared steak, but you can also fry side pork or shrimp for these rolls.
- Wash and spin-dry your lettuce and herbs.
- Place on a plate.
- Pour boiling water into a large, shallow bowl.
- Place noodles in water for about 5 minutes, or until tender.
- Remove them to a plate to drain.
- Reserve the hot water in the bowl.
- When youre ready to eat, take one rice paper and dip it into the shallow bowl of hot water.
- Rotate it around to submerge each edge until its all moistened.
- Place it on your plate and begin to add your fillings to the bottom centre.
- The beauty of DIY is you can add any combination of meat, noodles, cucumber, lettuce and herbs that you like.
- Fold in two sides, and then roll it up tightly from the bottom (just like a burrito).
- Eat as you go, and repeat as necessary to make more rolls!
- You can experiment with different sauces to dip them in, but I love them with this sweet & salty sauce:
- 1/4 cup water 2 tbsp.
- fish sauce 1 tbsp.
- lime juice 4 tsp.
- sugar 1 tsp.
- rice vinegar or white wine vinegar dried crushed chilies start with a smidgen, and add more to taste.
- Enjoy!
