SHRIMP PORK & BASIL RICE PAPER ROLLS



Shrimp Pork & Basil Rice Paper Rolls image

I love rice paper rolls - they are so versatile- You can make them vegetarian, with chicken, clean the fridge. Serve them as appetizers or as a side dish or entre depending on the size and filling. This recipe is Thai oriented. The Hoisin/peanut sauce is perfect with them. Serve as an appetizer or first course. You may also make these in the smaller size rice paper wraps to serve as finger food. The rolls should be made and served within a short time - if I am leaving them for more than an hour I cover them lightly with a slightly damp cloth and place them in the fridge.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the spring rolls: This will help prevent them from tearing.
