Ingredients
  • * Rolls *
  • 125 grams rice vermicelli
  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • pinch salt
  • 10 rice paper rounds
  • 1 butter or round lettuce shredded
  • 20 freshly cooked king prawns peeled
  • 1/2 cup Vietnamese mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup Thai basil leaves
  • * Sauce *
  • 3 tbsn fish sauce
  • 3 tbsn water
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 2 lemons juiced
  • small red chilli finely chopped (optional)

Directions
  1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add the vermicelli and cook 1-2 minutes until just tender; drain and cool.
  2. Using a large non-stick frying pan, make a thin omelette with the eggs, lightly seasoned with a pinch of salt. Allow omelette to cool before cutting it into strips.
  3. Dip a sheet of rice paper into a large bowl of hot water very quickly to soften it. Place on a plate and stand 30 seconds to allow rice paper to dry out slightly and soften. You can do up to 4 sheets of rice paper at a time without them drying out too much. This will speed up the process.
  4. Arrange the lettuce, vermicelli, prawns, some omelette, some mint and some basil on each rice paper round and roll up. Arrange on a platter.
  5. Dip the roll into the sauce; mix equal amounts of fish sauce and water. Add a pinch of sugar, garlic, lemon juice and the chilli (if using).

I love Vietnamese food and I am so happy to see this recipe. I just found the rice papers here in the NW of England where I live. I used to use them regularly when I lived in the states and missed them terribly here. They can be used for so much. Anyway, just found some in the supermarket and now I have a NEW recipe to try them with. Thank you ! Thank you !


Sweet! what's rice vermicelli though?


Dee, Glad you I can help with you this recipe. Chickpea chef, Rice vermicelli is thin rice noodles, also sometimes called glass noodles. It's very easy to cook. Just soak in boiling water for a few minutes. I hope you try this.


Hello cherriepie,These look and sound great.Can you tell me how to get fish sauce make it or buy it? Thanks, Pintobean


Hi pintobean, Fish sauce can be bought at any Asian grocery store. They are easy to find as it's a common ingredient in south eastern cuisines.
