Instructions

  1. 1 Pour olive oil into a large pot, set over medium heat, and add leeks to hot oil. Season leeks with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until leeks are soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour chicken broth into leeks; bring to a boil. Season with black pepper and cayenne pepper.
  2. 2 Stir peas into boiling broth mixture and add 2 mint leaves. Bring back to a boil and cook until peas are bright green and have started to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
  3. 3 Turn off heat; use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetables into a large blender, leaving liquid in pot. Pour half the liquid from the pot into the blender, place a folded towel on the blender lid, and pulse a few times to chop vegetables. Blend at high speed to puree vegetables. Add remaining liquid from pot to blender and liquefy the soup until smooth.
  4. 4 Pour soup from blender into a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl and use a spatula to push soup through the strainer, leaving the tough fibrous material behind.
  5. 5 Cool soup to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 3 hours.
  6. 6 Season cold soup with salt and adjust cayenne pepper. Ladle soup into a serving bowl. Spoon creme fraiche into a plastic squeeze bottle and squeeze the creme fraiche over the top of the soup in a loose spiral. Use a skewer to pull the spiral into flower petal shapes, starting from the middle and quickly pulling the skewer through the creme to make pointed petal shapes. Serve garnished with strips of fresh mint.

  1. 1 Soak bean thread noodles and shiitake mushrooms in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes until soft. Drain. Cut noodles into 1-inch pieces. Mince shiitake mushrooms.
  2. 2 Combine noodles, mushrooms, onion, jicama, and green onions in a large bowl.
  3. 3 Halve each shrimp lengthwise and cut each half into three 1-inch pieces. Lightly flatten each piece and add to the vegetables. Add egg, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Use a large wooden spoon or your hands to mix together.
  4. 4 Cut each spring roll wrapper diagonally into 2 triangles. Separate the wrappers and cover them with plastic wrap to keep from drying out.
  5. 5 Place a small bowl of water near the work surface. Working quickly, lay a triangle-shaped spring roll wrapper on a work surface, with the longest side of the triangle closest to you. Place about 2 tablespoons of shrimp mixture in the middle of the triangle, about 1/2 inch from the bottom edge. Bring the left and right points of the triangle over the shrimp mixture, overlapping the points. Begin rolling the wrapper toward the remaining triangle point, tucking the wrapper around the shrimp mixture as you roll.
  6. 6 Dip the fingers of your working hand in the water and moisten the edges of the final point, then complete the roll. Set aside on a sheet of waxed paper, and continue forming the remaining spring rolls until you have completed about 15.
  7. 7 Pour enough oil in an 11-inch skillet to be 1/2-inch deep and heat over medium-high until shimmering. While the oil is heating, complete the remaining spring rolls.
  8. 8 Place 7 or 8 spring rolls into the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Space spring rolls about 1/2 inch apart to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Remove to a cooling rack placed over paper towels. Continue frying in batches until all the spring rolls are done.
  9. 9 To make the dipping sauce, combine hot water and sugar and stir until sugar has dissolved. Add fish sauce, lime juice, and sambal oelek and stir to combine. Pour dipping sauce into individual serving bowls.
  10. 10 Place each spring roll on a lettuce leaf. Add mint and cilantro leaves. Wrap up, creating a bundle. Serve with dipping sauce.
