To assemble:
- Dip the rice wrappers, one at a time, into a bowl of warm water for a few seconds to soften.
- Place shredded lettuce leaves 2” above the bottom of the wrapper, and layer on the toppings, finishing with the noodles on top.
- Tightly roll the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, until it’s approximately 2/3 rolled up. Fold in the sides, and continue rolling it until it’s sealed.
