Peanuts (crushed)

Method :
  • Soak the cellophane noodles in a bowlful of hot water to cover for 5 - 10 minutes. When noodles are tender, drain immediately and rinse in cold water (to halt the cooking time).

  • Cut noodles with scissors to a manageable length and toss with vinegar, nuoc cham sauce, crushed peanuts and shrimp.

  • Mix fresh herbs together and set aside.

  • Finely shred the cabbage leaves and slice the green onions (scallions) into fine julienne.

  • In a bowl, mix together the herbs, both types of cabbage leaves, green onions (scallions), noodle mixture, and grated carrot, tossing thoroughly.

  • Soak 1 rice wrapper at a time in warm water for 30 seconds and it on a flat surface. Place a little of the mixed vegetables and noodle filling on it. Roll up tightly, folding in the sides to enclose the filling. Continue until all ingredients are used.

  • To make the peanut sauce, heat the oil and saut� the garlic and chili pepper until softened (about 2 minutes).

  • Add all remaining ingredients and whisk. Bring to boil and simmer until thickened slightly (about 3 minutes).

  • To serve, slice each roll on the diagonal, then arrange one half over the other. Serve the dipping sauce separately. The wrappers can also be fried.
