- Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into water, lift out, and drain briefly.

- To assemble salad rolls: Place 1/2 cup filling in the center of each wrapper.
- To roll salad rolls, think diapering a baby the old fashioned way - with cloth diapers minus the diaper pins!
- Pressing down on filling, fold the bottom of each wrapper over filling, then fold in sides; roll tightly.
- Press edges to seal; if rice paper is too dry to form a proper seal, moisten unsealed edges with a little water.
