Directions: |
Directions:Make the peanut sauce first: Combine all the peanut sauce ingredients. Mix briefly, then microwave for 30 seconds. Mix again until smooth. Set aside to cool. Adjust sour with vinegar, salt with salt and spiciness to taste. Thickness can be adjusted with water once cooled. Place vermicelli noodles in a bowl and cover with warm water for 2 minutes, then drain (follow package directions). Peel prawns/shrimp, slice in half lengthwise and devein. Make lettuce bundles: Place some vermicelli noodles and bean sprouts in a lettuce leaf, roll it up, finishing seam side down. Repeat for a total of 7 packages. Fill a large bowl with warm water. (The bowl doesn't need to be large enough to fit the whole rice paper sheet in one dip.) Use rice sheets single layer or double. Instructions are for double. Place two rice papers together. Please note that the smooth side of the rice paper goes on the outside of the spring roll. Submerge the two rice papers into the water, layered together, for 2 seconds. If your bowl isn't large enough to fit the whole rice paper in one dip, rotate the sheets and count 2 seconds for each section you submerge into the water. The two rice papers will stick together once wet. Place the wet rice papers together on a board or counter with the smooth side down. Place 3 prawn/shrimp slices with a few mint leaves in between on each wet rice paper set. Place lettuce bundle with the seam side down onto the middle of the rice paper, fold the left and right edges of the rice paper in, then starting from the bottom roll up to cover the lettuce bundle. Keep rolling firmly as the rice paper is sticky and will seal itself nicely. Serve immediately with peanut dip[ping sauce. |

Notes: (Yen is the President of the Board of Directors of the San Diego Diplomacy Council.) "Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls are incredibly fresh and healthy. The Vietnamese peanut dipping sauce that accompanies this is sensational and completely addictive. This is a great conversation meal. It is also much more interactive. I prepare all the ingredients then everyone rolls their own roll at the table."
