Directions:
- In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, rice vinegar, water, lime juice, garlic, sugar and chili sauce.
- Cut the carrot and cucumber into thin matchstick sized strips. Cut the lettuce leaves in half and roughly chop the basil, mint and cilantro. Set aside.
- Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper into the warm water for one second to soften.
- Lay wrapper flat. In a row across the center, place 4 shrimp halves, side by side and pink side down. To the lower half of the rice paper add lettuce, carrot, cucumber, basil, mint, cilantro, and noodles on top.
- Fold uncovered sides inward, followed by folding over the side closest to you over the veggies. Continue to roll until completely folded over and sealed.
- Serve the rolled spring rolls with the dipping sauce mixture.
Tip: Can substitute shrimp with other proteins such as tofu or chicken.
