Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

These spring rolls are so refreshing to eat during the summer. There are no measurements to this recipe, just eyeballing and taste. The best part about spring rolls is that you can add any ingredients you want to. This might be really hard for me to explain the directions, so I apoligize ahead of time.

You can use chicken breast or pork shoulder butt roast (I used pork). I used shrimp also.

Boil the shrimp with the peel on, and the pork. Peel the shrimp and slice down in the middle. Slice the pork into somewhat thin slices, but not too thin.

This is the brand of noodles that I used. These are rice noodles. All I did to these noodles were boil them and rinse in cold water after.

For the sauce, brown the minced garlic in some vegetable oil.

Add in water. Wait for it to boil, then add peanut butter. The ratio of hoisin sauce and peanut butter is 2:1. I added a little soy sauce and sugar.

The veggies that I used were lettuce and cucumbers. Like I said earlier, you can add anything like cilantro.

The outcome of the peanut sauce.

The rice paper that I used was with the picture that has three ladies on it. I placed three shrimps, two to three pieces of pork, a piece of cucumber, lettuce and noodles.

Enjoy!

Spring Rolls

Ingredients:

Pork or chicken (optional)

Shrimp, peel on (optional)

Lettuce (optional)

Rice noodles (optional)

Cucumber (optional)

Rice paper

Peanut Sauce

Ingredients:

Minced garlic

Water

Peanut Butter

Hoisin Sauce

Soy sauce

Sugar

Directions:

1. Boil the pork and shrimp. Leave the peel on the shrimp on. Let the pork cool down before you start slicing it. Once the shrimp is done boiling, immediately start draining it and rinse it in cool water. Slice the shrimp down the middle.

2. For the veggies, rinse the lettuce. Peel some of the skin of the cucumbers and slice the cucumbers into long rectangles. 

3. Boil the noodles and rinse in cold water right after.

4. For the sauce, brown the garlic in oil. Once it is browned, add water depending on how much sauce  you want. The peanut butter acts as a thickener so I would start with two spoonfuls, and add more if needed. For every spoonful of peanut butter equals two spoons of hoisin sauce. Add in a little bit of soy sauce and sugar up to your taste.

5. To start rolling, just put the rice paper in water where the whole thing just gets wet. Don't leave it in the water for a long time. Place it on a cutting board and leave part of it off the edge of the cutting board. Place all of the ingredients in the middle. start rolling and make sure all of the ingredients are together pretty tight. After two rolls, fold the sides in, then continue to finish rolling. 

6. Serve the sauce individually in a bowl. If you want the sauce to be spicy, add some siracha sauce. 

Hope that was easy to understand!
