Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup white vinegar
¼ cup fish sauce
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 ounces rice vermicelli
8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 rice wrappers (8.5 inch diameter)
2 leaves lettuce, chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
4 teaspoons finely chopped Thai basil

Steps:

  • Whisk vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, lime juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Set the dipping sauce aside.
  • Fill a large bowl with room temperature water. Add rice vermicelli and soak for 1 hour.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in shrimp and cook until curled and pink, about 1 minute. Remove the shrimp and drain. Slice each shrimp in half lengthwise. Transfer rice vermicelli noodles to the pot of boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove and drain in a colander. Immediately rinse the vermicelli with cold water, stirring to separate the noodles.
  • To assemble the rolls, dip 1 rice wrapper in a large bowl of room temperature water for a few seconds to soften. Place wrapper on a work surface and top with 4 shrimp halves, 1/4 of the chopped lettuce, 1/2 ounce vermicelli, and 1/4 each of the mint, cilantro, and Thai basil. Fold right and left edges of the wrapper over the ends of the filling and roll up the spring roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and ingredients. Cut each roll in half and serve with dipping sauce.

NEM NUONG (VIETNAMESE SAUSAGE)



Nem Nuong (Vietnamese Sausage) image

Traditionally grilled over charcoal, these little sausages also cook up beautifully in a cast-iron pan. Serve them in a bowl over rice noodles or steamed jasmine rice with fresh mint and cilantro, cucumbers and pickled carrots. Top with green chiles and toasted peanuts, then drizzle with fish sauce and lime. Or, use to make banh mi sandwiches. Be sure to use ground pork with enough fat or you'll end up with dry, flavorless sausage. Twenty percent by weight is a good ratio, though 25 doesn't hurt. If the ground pork available to you is too lean, ask the butcher to replace two ounces or so of the lean meat with ground pork belly or bacon.

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon jasmine rice
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 teaspoons pounded or very finely grated garlic
1 pound ground pork
Canola, grapeseed or other neutral-tasting oil

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Set a cast-iron pan over medium heat, and add rice. Cook, swirling and stirring constantly, until rice turns a deep golden color, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat, pour into a small heatproof bowl and allow to cool. Use a spice or coffee grinder to grind cooled rice into a fine powder.
  • Place rice powder, sugar, pepper, salt, baking powder, fish sauce and garlic in a large bowl, and stir to combine.
  • Add pork to the bowl, and using your hands, mix thoroughly for 1 full minute.
  • Heat a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Use a heaping tablespoon of pork mixture to make a small, thin sausage patty. Add a teaspoon or so of oil, and cook the patty for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Taste, and if needed, add salt or any other seasonings to the uncooked sausage mixture, and mix to combine.
  • Divide and roll the remaining sausage into 8 3-inch logs, skewering lengthwise and placing on the prepared baking sheet as you go. Cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to come together. (Sausages can be made ahead and covered and refrigerated or frozen at this point until ready to use.)
  • To cook, wipe out cast-iron pan, and return to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. When it shimmers, add sausages in a single layer, leaving space between them. Cook, rotating every 2 minutes, until browned on the surface and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.
  • Drain sausages on paper towels, and serve hot.

VIETNAMESE-STYLE BEEF SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLE SPRING ROLLS WITH MINT DIPPING SAUCE

Categories     Candy     Sauce     Beef     Vegetable     Side     Mint     Sausage     Spring

Yield makes 6 spring rolls

Number Of Ingredients 23

Sausage
1/2 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon finely chopped scallion
1/4 teaspoon chile flakes
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup finely shredded fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped small green chile
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons water
Peanut or canola oil, for sautéing the sausage
6 dried rice paper wrappers, about 8 1/2 inches in diameter
6 large red- or green-leaf lettuce leaves
Handful of bean sprouts
1 carrot, peeled and coarsely grated
1/2 cup coarsely grated daikon
2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly slivered lengthwise

Steps:

  • To make the sausage, place all the ingredients in a medium bowl, and knead with your hands until thoroughly blended. Use right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to overnight.
  • To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to mix. Set aside.
  • To cook the sausage, film the bottom of a medium sauté pan with oil and place over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and sauté, stirring to break it into small clumps, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • To make the spring rolls, lay 1 or 2 of the rice paper wrappers on a counter and spray or brush them generously with water without saturating them. Let hydrate and soften until pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. Place a lettuce leaf in the center of each wrapper, top with about 1/4 cup of the sausage, then with some bean sprouts, carrot, daikon, and scallion. Roll up the wrapper burrito-style, first folding the edge nearest you one-third of the way over the ingredients, then tucking in the sides, and finally folding the rest of the way to make a fat cylinder. Set on a platter and cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying out while you continue to fill the remaining rice paper wrappers. Serve right away, or leave at room temperature for up to 4 hours before serving.
  • To serve, remove the plastic wrap and accompany with the dipping sauce.
