Step by step

Method

5 steps

1. 1

   Cook the pork until no pink remains, about 4–6 minutes per side depending on thickness, then cool and slice thinly. Cook the shrimp and rice vermicelli separately and drain.

2. 2

   Whisk peanut butter with warm water, hoisin, and lime until smooth. Add chili or garlic to taste and thin until it is dip-able.

3. 3

   Dip one rice-paper wrapper in warm water for 5 seconds and lay it flat. Add lettuce, noodles, herbs, pork, and shrimp across the lower third.

4. 4

   Fold the bottom and sides over the filling, then roll firmly to the top. Cover each finished roll with a damp towel.

5. 5

   Serve within an hour with the peanut sauce. The rolls should feel soft but hold their shape when lifted.
