Thai Fresh Rolls
- Make a marinade by combining the warmed honey, fish sauce, fresh lime juice, and chili sauce. Mix this with the shrimp and tofu and set aside.
- In large bowl add enough HOT tap water to cover the noodles – set aside for about 10 minutes until softened. Rinse and drain completely. Set aside. In a pie plate that allows you to lay one sheet of wrapper completely cover with HOT tap water and let soften completely – only about 30 seconds.
- Lay on counter and fill (like you would a burrito) from the center of one side – noodles, two shrimps, herbs, tofu and wrap like a burrito – middle up, sides in, and roll to complete. They should be wrapped tightly. Cut in half on a diagonal.
