Fresh Spring Rolls with Pork and/or Shrimp

Ingredients:

3 ounces bean thread noodles, cooked and drained

grated carrot

sliced green onion

basil leaves, whole

cilantro leaves, whole

mint leaves, whole

1 pound shrimp, cooked, peeled and split in half lengthwise

1 package (6-inch) round sheets rice paper

1 pork tenderloin, boiled and sliced into ¼ inch slices

Directions:

Place bean thread noodles in large bowl. Place the carrots, onions, and fresh herbs onto a separate plate nearby.

To soften the rice paper, fill a pie plate or shallow baking dish with tepid water. Place 2 or 3 rice paper sheets in the water and allow to soak about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove 1 at a time and carefully stack between sheets of paper towels. Continue soaking and draining until you have softened 16 rice sheets.

Turn over the stack and begin working from the bottom of the stack first. Place a softened rice paper sheet on a clean work surface. On the bottom third of the sheet, pile 1/4 cup of the noodle mixture. Just above the noodles, place a shrimp half, skin side down, and top with vegetables and fresh herbs. Fold the bottom of the paper up and over the noodle mixture, and then fold each side toward the center, rolling gently and as tightly as possible from the bottom until completely rolled. Place rolls seam side down on a plate and continue until all ingredients have been used.

Keep assembled rolls under wet paper towels covered with plastic wrap. Store at room temperature up to 3 hours, do not refrigerate.
