Answers:
Here you go:
Rice paper rolls (banh trang)
Green or red leaf lettuce, sliced or shredded. Hard ribs removed.
Fresh Mint or cilantro sprigs
Shredded or julianed carrots
Rice vermicelli noodles
Cooked shrimp, halved lengthwise
Put noodles in a large, heat-proof bowl. Boil water. Pour boiling over the noodles and leave to soak. Shred or slice lettuce. Shred or julianne carrots. When the noodles are soft, drain and set aside.
Fill a shallow pan large enough to hold a rice paper sheet with very warm water. Slide a rice paper sheet into the water. Let it soak until almost soft. I like to have parts of the sheet still feel very slightly stiff. These parts will soften even after they've been removed from the water. Otherwise, if the rice sheet is completely soft before I remove it from the water, I can be fairly certain I'll tear the sheets.
Lay the sheet out on a clean work surface. Put some noodles (1/4 cup or so) across the bottom third of the sheet. Layer it with lettuce, carrots, mint or cilantro, and three or four shrimp halves. Roll the bottom edge over the fillings.
Tuck one or both sides up — whichever you like. Then tightly, but don't pull too tightly, roll it up. You'll figure out how much filling to use and how much tension to put on the rice sheet with practice.
Other ingredients to try in fresh spring rolls: basil, shredded cucumber, scallions, garlic chives. Serve with hoisin sauce or with peanut sauce (recipe coming soon).
