SUMMER ROLLS RICE PAPER RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
• Put noodles in a large bowl. Pour enough hot water over to cover; let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl of ice water to cool; drain and set aside.
• Fill a pie plate with warm water. Working with 1 rice paper round at a time, soak rice paper in water, turning occasionally, until just pliable but not limp, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a work surface. Arrange 3 shrimp halves across center of round. Top with some leaves of each herb, then daikon sprouts (if using), cucumber, and carrot. Arrange a small handful of noodles over. Place 1 lettuce leaf over, torn or folded to fit. Fold bottom of rice paper over filling, then fold in ends and roll like a burrito into a tight cylinder. Transfer roll, seam side down, to a platter. Repeat to make 11 more rolls. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 hour ahead. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and refrigerate.
• To serve, cut rolls in half on diagonal. Add chopped cilantro to dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Place noodles in medium heatproof bowl, cover with boiling water; let stand about 5 minutes or until just tender, drain. Using kitchen scissors, cut noodles into random lengths. Meanwhile, poach shrimp in salted boiling water until they just become pink and opaque. Rinse under cold water, then slice in half lengthwise. In a medium bowl, mix noodles, carrot, cucumber, cabbage, fish sauce, sugar, and vinegar; toss gently to combine. To assemble rolls, place a sheet of rice paper in medium bowl of warm water until just softened; lift sheet carefully from water, placing it on a tea-towel-covered board with a corner point facing towards you. Place some of the vegetable filling horizontally in center of sheet, top with one mint leaf, one basil leaf, 3 shrimp halves, and sesame seeds. Fold corner point facing you up over filling; roll sheet to enclose filling, folding in sides after first complete turn of roll. Repeat with remaining sheets. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and boiling water until smooth. Top with peanuts and sesame seeds and serve alongside rolls.
