Instructions
Prepare all vegetables by washing, drying, and slicing them into thin strips.

Fill a wide bowl with warm water and briefly dip one rice paper wrapper until slightly softened.
Lay the wrapper flat and allow it to soften completely.
Place lettuce on the lower third, then add noodles, vegetables, and herbs.
