Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

8 oz Fish stock 2 Cabbage leaves, cut into
1 t Freshly grated ginger root Fine strips
2 T 4 inch lemon grass strands 12 Mint leaves,
1 c Cooked small shrimp meat, Cut into fine strips
Coarsely chopped 1 T Low-salt soy sauce
1/2 t Chili powder 4 T Fresh lime juice
1/3 c Strained yogurt 3 T Extra light olive oil with
Salt and fresh ground pepper A dash of sesame oil
4 (8 to 9 inch) dried rice 1/4 t Sesame oil
Papers 1 T Fresh cilantro
1 t Turmeric 1 sm Red bell pepper, halved
1 c Water Lengthwise, cored and seeded
1 sm Cucumber, peeled, seeded 1 Jalepeno pepper, halved
And cut into matchsticks Lengthwise, cored and seeded

ß Mix the shrimp with the strained yogurt and the chili powder and
season to taste with the salt and pepper.

ß Preheat the broiler. Lay the peppers, skin side up, on a flat
broiling pan, and place the pan 3 to 4 inches below the heat source.
Broil until the skins are charred and black. Slip them directly into
a heavy-weight plastic storage bag and let them cool. Rub off the
charred skins and cut into fine dice.

ß In a small saucepan, bring the fish stock, grated ginger and lemon
grass to a boil and reduce by half. Strain the stock into a
measuring cup. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the lime juice, the soy
sauce and oils.

ß In a bowl, combine the warm water and the remaining lime juice. If
you prefer a colorful set of rice papers, add turmeric to the bowl of
warm water! Submerge the rice papers one at a time, until they start
to soften - about 15 seconds. Remove to a damp napkin and cover
with aonther damp napkin. Repeat until all the pepers are done. Keep
them covered until ready to use - they dry out rapidly!

ß Fill each paper with shrimp mixture, cucumber, cabbage and mint.
Roll up loosely and place on individual plates.

ß Just before serving, stir the roasted peppers and cilantro into the
sauce.

ß Pour a spoonful of sauce over each roll and serve
