Ingredients

2 ounces dried cellophane noodles

16 large shrimp (3/4 pound), shelled and deveined

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 cup rice vinegar

2 tablespoons honey

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

1 teaspoon minced scallion (optional)

2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil

Eight 8 1/2-inch rice paper wrappers

4 romaine lettuce leaves, torn

32 small mint leaves

32 small cilantro leaves

1 carrot, peeled and julienned

Directions

In a medium bowl, cover the cellophane noodles with hot water and let stand until soft, 30 minutes. Drain and cover with a damp paper towel until ready to use.

Light a grill. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and grill over moderately high heat until they're just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Let cool, then cut each shrimp in half lengthwise.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the soy sauce with the rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds and scallion, and sesame oil.

Soak 1 wrapper in hot water until pliable.

Lay the wrapper on a cutting board and blot dry. Arrange 2 pieces of romaine on the bottom third of the wrapper.

Top with some of the cellophane noodles, shrimp, mint, cilantro and carrot. Roll up the wrapper, tucking in the ends as you roll.

Cover with a damp paper towel. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Cut each roll in half and serve with the dipping sauce.

Okay you get a five-fork rating from me on this one. I have made these (or something very similar) and eaten them at about every local place that makes them - ha! - and they are one of my favorite foods. I am saving your specific recipe to try the next time I make these...which shall be very soon. Great recipe - and thanks so much... Vickie
