NUOC CHAM (SPRING ROLL SAUCE)
A delicious dipping sauce for spring rolls! I like to put it on pork chops or shrimp too, served over rice. Please Note: The sauce will be very thin. I recommend serving it in individual dishes for each person to dip their spring roll in.

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.

SPRING ROLLS WITH NUOC CHAM DIPPING SAUCE
This is a Nigel Slater recipe from The Observer Food Monthly magazine. I haven't made it myself yet, but posted it here for future use and safekeeping, as I thought it sounded great. The sauce is a vegetarian version of the Vietnamese classic. You can also add a little extra crunch by adding some shredded carrot. If you make it let me know what you think please! cooking time includes infusion time for the sauce. (The coriander in the recipe refers to cilantro.)
