Summer Rolls

Summer Rolls are awesome: fresh veggies, cool noodles, nice cold shrimp, a bit of sriracha & hoisin for dipping. Yummy!

This was a good excuse to check out 99 Asian Market in the north end, to get some wraps. We last made spring rolls for a party a couple of years ago, and while the wrappers are nearly indestructible, we only had a small handful remaining. The store seems to have a pretty amazing selection, though not being familiar with the items or able to read most of the labels, I was at a bit of a loss. I was also disappointed that any lunch-time báhn mì preparation didn't seem to be happening that morning.

This was also a good excuse to try making shrimp, something I've never done before, ours not being much of a seafood-consuming house. Unfortunately the shrimp was not provided by Full-Moon Farm … nor the egg for the matter.
