Directions

  1. Soak the rice vermicelli in hot water to cover for 15 to 20 min and drain. In a large pot of boiling water cook the noodles for 2 min or possibly till al dente, stirring to separate the strands. Drain, rinse with cool water and shake dry in a colander.

Transfer liquid removed rice paper to a work surface. Lay one piece of lettuce over the bottom third of the rice paper.
  3. Arrange 1 Tbsp. of the rice noodles, 1 Tbsp. of the shredded carrot, some bean sprouts and 2 mint leaves, end to end, on the lettuce leaf. Roll up the paper halfway into a cylinder and fold both sides of the paper over the filling. Lay 2 shrimp halves, cut side down and end to end, along the crease. Place several coriander leaves along side the shrimp.
  4. Continue to roll the rice paper into a cylinder, pressing the edge against the cylinder to seal. Place the roll, seam side down, on a plate and cover with a damp towel. Make more summer rolls in same manner with remaining ingredients. The prepared rolls will keep, covered with a damp towel or possibly plastic wrap, for up to 3 hrs.
  5. In a small saucepan heat oil over moderately high heat and cook the garlic and chili paste for 1
  6. min. Add in the tomato paste, peanut butter, hoisin sauce, sugar and water, whisking till smooth. Simmer for 2 min or possibly till heated through.
