Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the rolls with the 1/2 cup dipping sauce for dunking.
