Ingredients

  • 8 sheets rice paper wrappers
  • 4 oz vermicelli noodles
  • 2 cups lettuce
  • 1 medium carrot
  • ½ medium cucumber
  • ½ cup fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, or basil)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 4 oz vermicelli noodles in boiling water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the 1 carrot and 0.5 cucumber into thin matchsticks. Tear the 2 cups lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 5 seconds until pliable. Lay it flat on a clean surface.

  4. 4

    Place a small handful of noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber, and herbs along the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold the sides over, then roll tightly from the bottom.

  5. 5

    Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
