So I’ve made some spring rolls today in celebration of going to the store and getting some ingredients. I imagined the nice texture rice wraps have and thus came the spring roll to mind. First I had to prepare some lettuce, shrimp, meat and bean noodles. I can’t forget the wraps! You simply roll the ingredients together, and form these spring rolls! I wonder how such ingredients can be so good together, texture-wise and flavor-wise. :D!
The shrimp and lettuce are quite simple. on a high boil you boil the shrimp from their raw state to cooked state for 3 minutes, then slice them vertically. The lettuce is chopped thinly while making the braised pork shoulder, you combine 2 lbs of it with salt, papper, ginger and cook it for 4 hours under a slow simmer. After the pep work is done, you simply roll the spring rolls using the rice wrappers, dipping them in water to get them to become pliable!
- 2 lbs Shrimp, de-vained and de-headed
- 2 lbs iceberg lettuce
- 2 lbs braised pork shoulder
- 2 lbs bean sprout noodles
- 50 sheets of rice paper
