Ingredients
  

  • Rice Paper
  • Rice Noodles
  • Lettuce chopped
  • Cilantro
  • Bell Peppers thinly sliced
  • Carrots julienne
  • Cucumber thinly sliced
  • Sandwich Meat of Your Choice

Instructions
 

  • Start with boiling water in a kettle. Pour water over rice noodles in a bowl and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Draw and rinse with cool water. I usually have left over rice noodles, but the leftovers make a great base for stir fries or other asian dishes.
  • In a similar sized dish to the rice paper (I use a cake pan), pour in some boiling water, just enough to cover a rice paper sheet. Take two sheets and allow to soak for 15-30 seconds, until it becomes soft. Take out of the water and place on a clean surface.
  • In the top corner of the rice sheet, take a small amount of noodles, lettuce, carrots, peppers, cilantro, cucumber and meat. This creates the filling of the roll.
  • Tuck in the filling, roll once, tuck in the corners and fold until the cold roll is formed. Continue until you have your desired amount of cold rolls.
