    2 ounces rice vermicelli
    8 rice wrappers (8.5 inch diameter)
    8 large cooked shrimp - peeled, deveined and cut in half
    1 1/3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    2 leaves lettuce, chopped

    4 teaspoons fish sauce
    1/4 cup water

    Recipe



    1 Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Boil rice vermicelli 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain.

    2 Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper into the hot water for 1 second to soften. Lay wrapper flat. In a row across the center, place 2 shrimp halves, a handful of vermicelli, basil, mint, cilantro and lettuce, leaving about 2 inches uncovered on each side. Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end with the lettuce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

    3 In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, water, lime juice, garlic, sugar and chili sauce.

    4 In another small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and peanuts.

    5 Serve rolled spring rolls with the fish sauce and hoisin sauce mixtures.
