Herb-Packed Thai Basil Fresh Rolls with Hoisin-Peanut Dip
  1. 1

    Bring a medium stockpot of lightly salted water to a gentle boil. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, until opaque. Drain, let cool slightly, and pat dry with paper towel. Peel, devein, and slice in half.

  2. 2

    Bring another stockpot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pork at a low boil for approximately 10 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let cool, then slice into thin strips.

  3. 3

    Once more, bring a stockpot of water to a boil. Cook noodles, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Strain and rinse to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Fill a medium bowl with warm water. Dip each wrapper in the water for about 30 seconds until soft and flexible. Lay the wrapper on a flat surface, and place 2 basil leaves in the center, side by side, about 2 inches from the edge of the wrapper. Arrange 4 to 5 shrimp halves on the basil, followed by a small amount of pork, then a small amount of noodles. Sprinkle with cilantro and mint, and top with bean sprouts. Starting at one end, roll the wrapper over once, fold both sides in toward the center, and continue rolling as tightly as possible without tearing. The finished roll should be approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick.

  5. 5

    Warm hoisin sauce, peanut butter, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Garnish the sauce with chopped peanuts, if desired, and serve with the rolls for dipping.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
