Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • Shredded carrots
  • Shredded cucumber
  • Mint leaves, cut into fine pieces
  • Match stick cut jicama
  • Cooked shrimp
  • Avocado
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Package of rice paper wraps (look in the International Foods Aisle)
Instructions
  1. Take your rice paper disk, and dip it into the frying pan of hot simmering water for ~10 seconds or until softened. Remove rice wrap with both hands, and place on your working surface.
  2. On the lower third of the rice wrap (the end that is closest to you), add in small amounts of your wrap filling. I am notorious for adding too much filling to wraps – too much filling can make your wrap harder to work with and messier to eat.
  3. Take the bottom of the rice wrap (the lower third of the wrap), and fold over the filling, while also tucking in the filling toward you. This helps to keep your rice wrap “tight”. Then, tuck in the sides of the wrap and continue rolling the wrap so that it resembles a spring roll.
  4. Wrapping rice paper wraps is a skill that gets better with practice. Even when my wraps don't look perfect, people still devour them.
  5. Place your wrap on your serving platter and cover with a clean damp towel to prevent the wrap from drying out. You can make these ahead of time, and store in your fridge. Even if made ahead of time, I still cover with a damp cloth to prevent the rolls from drying out.
