The Thai basil is the best part of this dish, and at least where we get it at Fooks Foods in Athens, it is much more affordable than regular fresh basil in the grocery stores.
Rice paper
Rice vermicelli noodles (cooked first by soaking in very hot water, follow package instructions—you’ll then keep this same hot water for wetting your rice paper as you are making the spring rolls)
Bean sprouts
Shredded carrot
Thai basil or regular basil, washed, destemmed and chopped
Small, diced, cooked chicken or pork or tofu
Put a little bit of everything in the rice paper that has been softened in the hot water for a few seconds (and it only takes a tiny bit of each thing!). Roll it up like a burrito, the tighter the better. Serve with peanut sauce.
