Instructions
 

  • Cook rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with sesame oil and salt. Prepare and slice all vegetables and herbs.
  • Fill a shallow dish with warm water and prepare a clean rolling surface. Arrange all ingredients within reach.
  • Dip a rice paper wrapper in warm water for 5–10 seconds until slightly softened.
  • Place wrapper on surface and layer lettuce, noodles, vegetables, and herbs in the center.

Notes

Do not oversoak the rice paper to prevent tearing. Keep fillings light for easier rolling. Customize with tofu, tempeh, or extra vegetables for added texture and protein. Store covered with a damp towel for short-term freshness. Peanut sauce can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
