How To Make vietnamese summer rolls
-
1To make dipping sauce; wearing gloves, prep bird’s eye chilies. Transfer to a bowl and add to this ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sweet chili sauce, hoisin sauce and fresh squeezed lime juice. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
-
2In a medium pot over high heat, boil water. Add shrimp and poach them for 1 minute or so. Transfer to an ice bath using a spider strainer; let them in for 2-3 minutes. Scoop about 1/3 cup of liquid from poaching shrimp in a shallow plate to dip the rice paper.
-
3Get all the ingredients ready before assembling the rolls. One at a time, dip rice paper with the rough texture side up – don’t leave it too long otherwise the paper will tear. Lightly wet the work surface (it sticks less) and transfer the rice paper over. Place 3 shrimp about a 1/3 of the way to make it easier to roll later and then stack nicely the rest of the ingredients (a little bit of each).
-
4When done filling, fold one side over, trying to keep the ingredients tight together and then fold the sides in and finish rolling (same technique as rolling dolmades or burritos).Serve immediately otherwise place loosely a cling film and leave them at room temperature for not more than 2 hours. Makes 6 rolls
