Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Whisk peanut butter, fish sauce, and 2 tbsp warm water until smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust.

  2. Step 2

    Lay a lettuce leaf flat on a cutting board. Place 1 shrimp half, a pinch of pork, and a few cucumber sticks across the center.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the left and right edges of the leaf over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat until you've used all the shrimp and pork (you'll have 12–16 rolls). Arrange on a platter.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the peanut sauce into a small bowl for dipping. Serve immediately.
