Vietnamese spring roll with peanut sauce

Once we tried this rolls in a Vietnamese restaurant and we liked it, its raw and its healthy.



Ingredients:
For rolls:
60g dried rice vermicelli noodles
8 rice wrappers (22cm diameter)
12 leaves fresh Thai basil, chopped
3 sprigs fresh coriander, chopped
1-2 Carrots (cut lengthwise)
1 Cucumber (cut lengthwise)

For Peanut sauce:

  • 1 small garlic clove, mashed to a paste
  • 1 tsp chili paste
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp water


Procedure:
For spring rolls
1)Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil. Boil rice vermicelli 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain.
2) Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper into the hot water for 1 second to soften. Lay wrapper flat.
3) In a row across the center and  place a handful of vermicelli, basil, coriander and lettuce, leaving about 2 inches uncovered at each side.
4) Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end with the lettuce. 
5)Cut roll in half if desired. 
    Repeat with remaining ingredients.
