Ingredients
🍤 200g shrimp, peeled and deveined
🌭 100g sausage, sliced
🦀 100g crab meat
🥚 2 eggs
🍜 100g vermicelli noodles
🥬 1 cup shredded cabbage
🥕 1 carrot, julienned
🌿 Fresh cilantro, a handful
🫓 Rice paper sheets
🌶️ 1 tablespoon Sriracha or hot sauce
🍯 1 tablespoon honey
🍋 1 tablespoon lemon juice
🧂 Salt, to taste
🥄 1 tablespoon soy sauce
🔪 1 teaspoon minced garlic
🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1- Prepare the Noodles:
- Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water for about 5 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.
2- Cook the Protein:
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until slightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the shrimp, crab meat, and minced garlic to the pan. Season with salt and soy sauce, and sauté until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
3- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, and fresh cilantro. Toss the vegetables together.
4- Assemble the Spring Rolls:
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for about 10 seconds, or until it softens.
Place the softened rice paper on a flat surface. In the center, add a small handful of the vegetable mixture, a portion of the cooked shrimp and crab mixture, and a small nest of vermicelli noodles.
Fold the sides of the rice paper inwards and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
5- Prepare the Boil Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together Sriracha, honey, lemon juice, and soy sauce until smooth. Adjust the heat with more Sriracha if desired.
6- Serve:
- Serve the spring rolls with the spicy boil sauce on the side for dipping.
