- To assemble summer rolls, line a couple of rectangular containers with wax paper or parchment paper.
- For each container, dampen a couple layers of paper towels that are large enough to cover the containers.
- Set aside, but not in the containers.
- Fill a large shallow pan with 1 inch of room temperature water.
- Submerge one rice paper in water for 20 seconds.
- Remove, gently shaking off excess.
- Place on a flat surface.
- Rice paper should be pliable and will continue to soften more as you work.
- Place about 1/4 cup of lettuce on the upper third section, leaving at least a 1 inch edge.
- Add 1/8 cup cucumber.
- Top with 1/8 cup pickled carrots and daikon.
- Add 4 to 5 strips of pork.
- Line 4 shrimp halves parallel to this pile, at equator line of the rice paper.
- Finally, lay down mint leaves (or Thai basil or cilantro).
- Working with the pile of filling closest to you, lift and fold the rice paper over the filling.
- Hold in place with one hand and fold sides over with the other like wrapping a burrito.
- Roll into a log, tucking the filling and gently pulling the rice paper taught as you roll.
- Be gentle as rice paper tears easily.
- It may take a little practice before you are able to roll a tight summer roll.
- Place summer roll in one of the lined containers.
- Cover with dampen paper towels.
- Repeat steps until all summer rolls are made.
- Serve with dipping sauce.

- I make different versions of this sauce, but this particular one from the New York Times is a family favorite.
