Ingredients

• 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon tamari
• 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 medium mango, sliced
• 1 (8.5 ounce) package Asian slaw mix
• 1 bunch mint, finely chopped
• 1 bunch Thai basil, chopped
• 3 tablespoons mirin
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 (8 ounce) package dried rice vermicelli noodles
• 40 cooked and peeled shrimp
• 24 rice paper sheets
• 0.25 teaspoon sesame oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Slice shrimp in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Place a rice paper sheet in hot water for about 4 seconds. Remove, shake off excess water, and transfer to a clean, flat surface. Starting with the shrimp, layer the other roll ingredients carefully at the top of the wrapper (leaving about 2/3 of the wrapper below the contents). Fold the left and right edges in and over the filling. Starting from the top, fold the wrap tightly.

Step 3

Repeat the wetting, filling, and wrapping process to make remaining rolls until out of ingredients.

Step 4

Mix mirin, tamari, rice vinegar, ginger, and sesame oil for sauce together in a small, resealable container. Seal and shake well. Pour into a dipping dish and serve with rolls.

Step 5

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Remove from the heat and add vermicelli noodles. Let noodles soak until they're tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 10 minutes.
