Preparation
1

Cook the vermicelli: Place the water (1 liter, 2 liters), ,in a medium pot. Bring to a boil on high heat. When the water is boiling, add the vermicelli and cook for 4 minutes.
2

Finish the vermicelli: Place a strainer or a colander in the sink. Place the vermicelli in the strainer or colander. Rinse the vermicelli under cold water. Drain and set aside.
3

Prepare the vegetables: Rinse and dry all produces. Peel and shred the carrots. Peel the mango. Cut the cucumber in julienne (the shape of a match). Cut the radish in 1/4 cm slices. Separate the mint leaves from the stem. If a leaf is very large, cut it in half.Â
4

Soften the rice paper: In a large shallow dish (can be a skillet), place about 1 inch of warm water. Submerge a sheet of rice paper for about 10 seconds.
Note: If you let the rice paper submerged too long the rice paper will become too fragile to work with.
Once the rice paper has been submerged under water, transfer to a clean surface (can be a cutting board).
5
Assemble the fresh rolls: Close to the top end of the rice paper, add the vermicelli, radish, red cabbage, mango, cucumber and carrots. Fold bottom over the fillings, then gently roll over once and fold in the side to seal, then roll until completely sealed. Place on a serving plate and top with a room temperature damp towel to keep fresh. Repeat process until all the rice paper is used.
6

Serve the fresh roll: Serve the fresh rolls with the creamy peanut sauce. If the creamy peanut sauce feels too thick, place it in a small bowl and add 1 tsp of water at a time and combine with a fork between each addition of water until you reach the desired consistency. Each serving counts 5 summer rolls.
