Spring is almost here so to celebrate the new season I’m making Spring rolls! Growing up my parents would have these spring roll parties where everyone would make their own! Today I’m making the classic Vietnamese pork and shrimp spring rolls that I grew up with. It’s layered with shrimp, pork slices, rice noodles, and a bouquet of fresh herbs.
Now, let’s get started by cooking the pork.
Vietnamese Spring Rolls Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 lb. pork loin
1/2 lb cooked shrimp, cleaned and deveined
1 package of rice paper
1 package of rice noodles
1 bunch mint
1 bunch thai basil
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch Vietnamese Coriander / Rau Ram
1 bunch Shiso
Red Lettuce
Garlic Chives
Peanut Sauce:
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tbsps soy sauce
2 tbsps honey
1 tbsp lime juice
I’m using a pork loin here that is about 1 lb. I know this sounds strange but I’m going to boil it on medium heat then cover it on low for about 40 minutes. I want the pork to be bland because the flavors will come from the other ingredients. While the pork is cooking I’ll start on my peanut dipping sauce.
In a food processor, I’ll add 1 clove of garlic, 1 knob of ginger that’s about an inch long, 3 tbsps of soy sauce, ½ cup of peanut butter, 2 tbsps of honey, and 1 tbsp of lime juice. I’ll blend it all together just until it combines then I’ll add about 2 tbsps of water. This part is totally up to you depending on how thick or thin you like your dipping sauce. I love my sauce to be thin so it can easily coat each bite! I’ll blend again then transfer to a bowl. Then I’ll add some chili garlic sauce and let the flavors meld while I prep my herbs and fixings.
I’ve already laid out some lettuce and rice noodles that I cooked according to the package’s directions, and some bean sprouts. Now let’s get into my herbs! Here I have some garlic chives - they’re flat grass-like leaves with a mild onion / garlic-y flavor. Next, some fresh mint leaves. Mint adds that tangy cool, bright flavor! And here is a Vietnamese herb called Rau Ram, or Vietnamese coriander - it’s peppery and is used in a lot of Vietnamese cuisine like salads, even soups! Here’s some Thai Basil, which has anise- and licorice-like flavors and slightly spicy. You’ve seen this in pho or even Thai Basil Chicken. Cilantro - which I love but many people are on the fence...And finally Shisho leaves which taste like a combination of basil, cilantro, and mint all in one! All these herbs can be found the asian market! And you don't’ necessarily have to use them all, I’m just all for that aromatic bouquet in each bite! Now onto my protein.
Here I bought some pre-cooked shrimp from the store that’s already cleaned and de-veined. I’ll just cut them in half and set aside. My pork has cooked through and slightly cooled, so I’ll slice it into thin pieces.
Now let’s get rolling! I have a pie dish filled with warm water. I’m using this as a vessel to moisten my rice paper. I’ll dip in a sheet of rice paper without letting it soak. If it soaks too long you won’t be able to handle it. Now I’ll lay it out on my cutting board and start layering the ingredients. In the bottom third I’ll add my lettuce, herbs, rice noodles, and bean sprouts. Then I’ll roll it over once, fold the sides in, and place my shrimp - pretty side on the bottom, and pork slices on top. I’ll roll it again, and tuck in my garlic chive, then finish rolling the wrap! Ta - da. I like to trim the garlic chive so it’s not too long. Then, i’ll cut it in thirds and prop it up like this. Feel free to leave yours as long rolls if you’d like. And that’s it! Just make sure to dunk generously in the Peanut Sauce
The freshness of the herbs really elevates these spring rolls - and the saltiness of the shrimp pairs well with the mild pork. And the spicy peanut sauce coating brings it all together! I know this takes a lot of prep work but it’s so worth it!! Healthy, fresh, and just so satisfying. Try throwing your own spring roll making party! Your friends will love it. Thanks for watching and I’ll see you guys next time. Byeeee!
