Chef's Note

For the crispest texture, julienne your vegetables as thinly as possible and don't overfill the rice paper. Keep your work surface slightly damp to prevent sticking, and if the rice paper tears, simply wrap it with another sheet. The rolls can be made a few hours ahead and stored covered with a damp paper towel in the refrigerator.

Ingredients
  • 4 sheets rice paper wrappers

  • 3 oz shrimp

  • 2 oz chicken breast

  • 1 oz rice vermicelli noodles

  • 1/2 medium carrot

  • 1/4 medium cucumber

  • 1/4 medium red bell pepper

  • 6 leaves fresh mint leaves

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

  • 6 leaves fresh basil leaves

  • 2 leaves butter lettuce

  • 1/4 medium avocado

  • 1 whole lime

  • 1 inch fresh ginger

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 tbsp fish sauce

  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1/2 small red chili pepper

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions
  • 1

    Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Cook 1 oz rice vermicelli noodles according to package directions (usually 2-3 minutes). Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

  • 2

    Season 2 oz chicken breast with 1/4 tsp sea salt. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a small pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5 minutes per side until fully cooked. Set aside to cool, then slice thinly.

  • 3

    Bring another small pot of water to a boil. Add 3 oz shrimp and cook for 2 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain, cool, then peel and slice in half lengthwise.

  • 4

    Julienne 1/2 medium carrot, 1/4 medium cucumber, and 1/4 medium red bell pepper into thin matchsticks.

  • 5

    Slice 1/4 medium avocado into thin strips.

  • 6

    Prepare herbs by washing and patting dry 6 mint leaves, 1/4 cup cilantro, 6 basil leaves, and 2 butter lettuce leaves.

  • 7

    For the dipping sauce, grate 1 inch fresh ginger and 1 garlic clove into a small bowl. Add juice from half the lime (about 1 tbsp), 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp honey, and finely minced 1/2 small red chili pepper. Stir to combine.

  • 8

    Fill a large, shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 15-20 seconds until it begins to soften but is still slightly firm (it will continue to soften).

  • 9

    Lay the softened wrapper on a clean work surface. Place a butter lettuce leaf in the center, followed by a small portion of noodles, a few vegetable matchsticks, 2-3 shrimp halves, a few slices of chicken, avocado strips, and a selection of herbs.

  • 10

    Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to close, similar to wrapping a burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers and ingredients to make 4 rolls.

  • 11

    Cut each roll in half diagonally and arrange on a serving plate with the dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with remaining lime wedges.
