Unlike spring rolls, which are
usually deep fried, summer rolls
are wrapped in fresh rice paper,
or bánh tráng in Vietnamese.
They’re almost always filled
with fresh vegetables and
herbs, and often also with pork
or shrimp. In Vietnam, the bánh
tráng are created by drying
rice batter on large bamboo
mats, leaving them with their
signature crosshatch pattern.

Prepare your ingredients:Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a small pot of salted water to boiling on high. Pick the basil and mint leaves off their stems. Trim off the ends of the cilantro stems, leaving the sprigs intact. Peel and cut the carrot into thin matchsticks. Separate the lettuce leaves. Cut the cucumber into thin matchsticks.
Cook the noodles:While the shrimp cook, add the cellophane noodles to the pot of boiling water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until transparent. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Assemble the summer rolls & enjoy:Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Briefly dip a rice paper wrapper in the water to soften it, then transfer it to a clean, dry work surface. Place a few pieces of carrot, a few cucumber sticks, a small handful of noodles, about 2 shrimp, a few basil and mint leaves, and a sprig or 2 of cilantro in the middle of the moistened wrapper. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it away from you, tucking in the filling as you go, just like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Lay the lettuce leaves on 2 plates and place the finished summer rolls on top. Serve with the peanut dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Cook the shrimp:In a large pan, heat some oil on medium until hot. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook 1 to 3 minutes, or just until the shrimp are pink throughout and cooked through. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl and place the bowl in the refrigerator to cool.
Make the peanut dipping sauce:In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, and sugar. Whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water until it reaches your desired consistency for dipping.
