Ingredients

8 8 1/2-in. rice papers
2 oz. soaked rice noodles or cellophane yam noodles
8 medium shrimp
1 large carrot, shredded
4 leaves soft lettuce, such as butter or baby red leaf
1 cup fresh bean or smaller alfalfa sprouts (can be a mix)
1/2 cup mint leaves
16 chive sprigs
1/2 cup coriander leaves

Steps

  1. Layer ingredients on softened rice paper, putting things you want to show through down first. Work with one paper as next paper is soaking. Roll filled paper burrito style. It can be made a few hours in advance and held covered and chilled until serving time.

Additional Tips

Note: Omit shrimp for vegetarian rolls or replace with equivalent volume of slivered tofu, slivered pork, chicken or julienned hardboiled egg.
