Directions
Make sure all of your ingredients are prepared and ready for making your rolls before you cook the rice paper. You will need to work quickly once the rice paper is ready so be prepared.
Cook the rice noodles per package instructions and set aside
Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper into the hot water for 1 second to soften. Lay wrapper flat. In a row across the center, place a selection of veggies, a handful of vermicelli, basil, mint, cilantro and lettuce, leaving about 2 inches uncovered on each side. Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end with the lettuce. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Once all the rolls are prepared, set aside and prepare your sauce.
To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients together in a small bowl, taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve rolls and sauce together and enjoy!
