Directions Goi Cuon (Vietnamese Spring Roll with Pork and Prawns)
Directions
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat, cook and stir pork in the hot skillet until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add prawns and cook until meat is pink. Drain water and slice prawns in half lengthwise.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil, stir in vermicelli and return to a boil. Cook until vermicelli is tender yet firm to the bite, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water.
Dip a rice wrapper into the warm water until softened, 3 to 5 seconds. Place rice wrapper on a work surface. Let the rice paper soften for about 30 seconds. Arrange pork, a prawn half, vermicelli noodles, cilantro, spring onions, mint leaves, and romaine lettuce on the bottom third of the wrapper, roll it up halfway, tuck in the sides, and finish rolling the rest of the way. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
