Rollitos tailandeses de papel de arroz (rollitos de primavera frescos)

Ingredientes

• 1 pack fresh rice paper
• rice vermicelli (optional, add to taste, cooked according to package)
• 1 carrot (shredded)
• 1 lettuce (finely chopped)
• 4 green onions (sliced into 1-inch sized pieces)
• cilantro (to taste)
• mint (to taste)

Preparación

1. 1

   Slice all vegetables thinly and prepare your herbs and optional protein. Keep everything bite-sized and within reach for easy rolling.

2. 2

   If using noodles, cook rice vermicelli according to package directions. Drain well and let cool completely. Toss with a little garlic oil or crispy fried garlic if desired.

3. 3

   Fill a shallow dish with lukewarm water. Set up a rolling surface (like a cutting board) and arrange all fillings nearby.

4. 4

   Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds, until just soft. Lay it flat on your board.

5. 5

   Add fillings in the lower third of the wrapper: vegetables first, then noodles and herbs, plus shrimp, tofu, or chicken if using.

6. 6

   Fold the bottom over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll upward gently but firmly like a burrito.

7. 7

   Repeat with remaining wrappers. Keep finished rolls covered with a damp towel while working.

8. 8

   Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
