Step 1
Slice the 4 crispy pancakes into thin strips. Cut the 1 cucumber and 1 carrot into matchsticks, and shred the 4 lettuce leaves into ribbons.
Step 2
Fill a wide bowl with warm water. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper for 5 seconds until pliable, then lay it flat on a clean surface.
Step 3
Place a few lettuce ribbons, pancake strips, cucumber and carrot sticks, and a few mint leaves (if you have them) in a line across the wrapper.
Step 4
Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 5
Serve the rolls with the 1/2 cup dipping sauce for dunking.
