Steps:
- Peanut Sauce: Combine the Peanut Dipping Sauce ingredients. Mix briefly (it won't come together), then microwave for 30 seconds. Mix again until smooth. Set aside to cool. Adjust sour with vinegar, salt with salt and spiciness to taste. Thickness can be adjusted with milk or water once cooled.
- Place vermicelli noodles in a bowl and cover with warm water for 2 minutes, then drain (or follow packet instructions).
- Peel the prawns, slice in half lengthwise and devein (watch video).
- Remove the crunchy core of the lettuce leaves (watch video).
- Tip - LETTUCE BUNDLE (Note 4): Place some vermicelli noodles and bean sprouts in a lettuce leaf, then roll it up, finishing seam side down. Repeat.
- Fill a large bowl with warm water. The bowl doesn't need to be large enough to fit the whole rice paper in one go.
- Place two rice papers together (if using 2). Note which side is the smooth side - this is supposed to be the outside of the spring roll. Submerge the rice papers into the water (both of them at the same time, together) for 2 seconds. If your bowl isn't large enough to fit the whole rice paper in one go, that's fine, just rotate it and count 2 seconds for each section you submerge into the water.
- Place both the rice papers (one on top of the other, they will stick together) on a board or the counter with the smooth side down.
- On the top part of the rice paper, place 3 prawns with a mint leaf in between, as per the photo below.
- Place the lettuce bundle with the seam side down onto the middle of the rice paper.
- Fold the left and right edges of the rice paper in, then starting from the bottom, roll up to cover the lettuce bundle. Then keep rolling firmly. The rice paper is sticky, it will seal itself.
- If you placed the ingredients on the rice paper as per the photo below, your rice paper rolls should look pretty with the prawn and mint leaves on the smooth side of the roll and the seam on the side or underside of the roll.
- Serve immediately with the peanut dipping sauce.

Steps:
- For each dipping sauce, whisk all ingredients together.
- Cook the noodles according to the packet directions. While doing this, prep the veges - chop them into matchstick size pieces.
- Chop the fresh herbs and mix them in with the noodles.
- Prepare the rolling surface - I like to make my rolls on a clean, damp tea towel as the paper can be delicate and they don't tend to stick to the tea towel.
- Prepare the wrapper - take a bowl large enough to fit a rice paper wrapper in, and fill it with lukewarm water. Take 1 rice paper wrapper and soak it in the water for about 30 seconds until it starts to feel soft. Remove from the water and place on the prepared tea towel or other flat surface e.g. a chopping board.
- Fill the wrapper - add noodles, veges and meat (if using) to the bottom third of the wrapper.
- Roll it - just like a burrito - fold the bottom over the fillings, fold in the sides and then roll it up tight
- Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers.
- Serve with dipping sauces. Any leftover rolls, store in the fridge for a couple of days, but they are best eaten that day.

Steps:
- Soften rice paper sheets by soaking in warm water.
- When soft and pliable, remove and place on a clean cotton cloth.
- Lay a small amount of the filling along the centre top of the rice paper.
- Fold one side in towards the centre, then fold the bottom up towards the top.
- Roll the wrap over towards the remaining side to make a neat roll.
- Repeat the process until the rice paper and filling are used up.
- Combine all dipping sauce ingredients into a bowl.
- Serve with rice paper rolls.
Tips:
- Choose the right rice paper: Look for thin, translucent rice paper wrappers that are pliable and easy to work with.
- Soak the rice paper properly: Dip each sheet of rice paper briefly in warm water until it becomes soft and pliable. Be careful not to over-soak, as this will make the paper too soft and difficult to roll.
- Prepare your fillings in advance: Have all of your fillings prepared and ready to go before you start assembling the wraps.
- Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings and experiment with different flavors and textures. Some popular options include shrimp, pork, chicken, tofu, vegetables, herbs, and sauces.
- Roll the wraps tightly: Once you have added your fillings, roll the wrap up tightly. This will help to keep the fillings in place and make the wrap easier to eat.
- Serve the wraps immediately: Freshly made rice paper wraps are best enjoyed immediately. Serve them with dipping sauce and additional herbs, if desired.
Conclusion:
Vietnamese rice paper wraps are a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
