Rice Wraps

Otherwise known as Vietnamese fresh spring rolls.  These are pretty expensive if you buy them pre-made at restaurants - probably due to the labour involved.  However, the labour is actually half of the fun, if you make them one-by-one as you eat them! 

Step 1:  Take dry rice wrap and place in warm/hot water until just softened. 

Step 2:  Place filling into centre of wrap.  Filling can include cooked thinly sliced meat or shrimp, thinly sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced carrots, cooked vermicelli noodles, thinly sliced lettuce, and hoison sauce.  The sauce is very important.  These items can be found at an Asian supermarket. 

Step 3:  Roll it up!  Eat it!
