Introduction
A refreshing, healthy, and flavorful Vietnamese classic featuring tender pork belly, sweet shrimp, fresh herbs, and soft rice vermicelli wrapped in delicate rice paper. It is served alongside a rich, savory, and slightly sweet peanut-hoisin dipping sauce.
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and place the pork belly into the pot. Cook over medium heat until fully cooked.
Step 2
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the pot and immediately submerge it in a bowl of cold water to prevent it from darkening.
Step 3
Thinly slice the cooled pork belly into bite-sized slices.
Step 4
In another dry pot, add the shrimps without adding any water. Cover and cook over medium heat in their own juices until they turn orange and fully cooked, then peel them and slice them in half lengthwise.
Step 5
Boil the rice vermicelli in boiling water for about 5 minutes, then drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Let it drain completely.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Plunging the boiled pork belly immediately into cold water keeps the fat translucent and prevents the meat from turning a dark color.
Cooking the shrimp without added water locks in their natural sweetness and prevents them from losing flavor.
Positioning the shrimp with the orange skin side facing down ensures they show beautifully through the translucent rice paper once rolled.
If taking the spring rolls on a picnic, wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap to keep them moist and prevent them from sticking to each other.
