A southern Vietnamese fresh roll of Chinese origin: sweetish Chinese sausage, fried jicama, egg and herbs in rice paper, with a hoisin-peanut dipping sauce. A favourite after-school snack.
Cook the sausage in boiling water for 5 minutes, then fry in a dry pan for 2 minutes, and cut into thin, long strips.
Whisk the eggs, salt lightly, and fry into two thin omelettes, roll up and cut into strips.
Fry the jicama and carrot in the oil for 4-5 minutes, season with salt; add the shrimp at the end. Let cool.
For the sauce, warm the hoisin sauce with the water and peanut butter in a small saucepan, and top with peanuts and chilli.
Dip the rice paper sheets one at a time in lukewarm water and lay on a board. Top with a lettuce leaf, a little jicama filling, strips of egg and sausage, and a few herb leaves.
Roll up from the bottom edge, fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
Serve at once with the hoisin sauce.

Tips
Dip the rice paper in water for only 1-2 seconds — it softens further while you roll.
Keeps for half an hour covered with a damp cloth, after that it dries out.
