How To Make a Spring Roll

  • Thank you Mrs. Webster for teaching us this!
  • 1 package Rice Paper (May brand)
  • 1 package Rice Vermicelli Noodles (Fortuna Brand)
  • 1 lb Shrimp, uncooked, de-veined with shells
  • 1/2 lb Prepared BBQ pork
  • 1 bunch Spearmint
  • 2 bunches Lettuce

    1. Bring water to a boil then add 1/2 package of noodles. Keep stirring to keep noodles from sticking together. Boil for 8-10 minutes.
    2. Drain and rinse noodles under cold water. Set aside.
    3. Rinse shrimp and add to a pot of boiling water. Bring water back to a boil and cook shrimp until they are all pink.
    4. Peel and cut shrimp in half length-wise. Set aside.
    5. Slice BBQ pork thinly. Set aside.
    6. Wash spearmint and take leaves off stems. Set leaves aside.
    7. Wash and remove stems from lettuce. Set aside.
    8. Take 1/4 of the rice papers and break in half.
    9. Place a 1/2 sheet of rice paper on top of a whole sheet at the diagonal and dip into bowl of warm water.
    10. Place on cutting board until soft.
    11. Starting towards the back corner of the sheets where there is no overlap, stack ingredients in the following order: lettuce leaf, noodles, 1-2 mint leaves, 2 pieces of cut shrimp, 2 pieces of pork.
    12. Fold nearest corner over ingredients, squeeze down and roll tight towards the middle. At the half-way point pull in corners and finish rolling.
    13. Place on plate cover tightly with saran wrap until ready to serve to keep them from drying out.
