Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Prepare the fillings by cooking the shrimp and pork in a pan with a little oil until they are fully cooked. Then, chop them into small pieces and set aside. Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions and set aside.
2
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and julienning the carrots and cucumber. Chop the mint and basil leaves finely and set aside.
3
Assemble the summer rolls by filling a large bowl with warm water. Place a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds, until it becomes soft and pliable. Remove the wrapper from the water and place it on a clean surface.
4
Place about 1/4 cup of the cooked noodles in the center of the wrapper, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Add a few pieces of the cooked shrimp and pork, some chopped carrots and cucumber, and a sprinkle of mint and basil leaves.
5
Fold the bottom half of the wrapper up over the fillings, then fold in the sides and roll up the wrapper to form a tight cylinder. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
