Briefly dip one sheet of rice paper into lukewarm water, lay it on the towel, and let it soften for a few seconds.

- 10
Scatter mint and cilantro leaves over them, and optionally sprinkle with peanuts. Begin to roll tightly like a burrito.
TIP:Moisten only the edge of the rice paper, and as you roll, press gently so the roll holds its shape. If the sheet loses stiffness, briefly dip it in water and remove it immediately, so it stays pliable, not soft.

Fold the short sides inward and roll into a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining sheets.

Serve whole or halved diagonally with bowls of nuoc cham for dipping.

Do not soak the rice paper for too long. a brief dip is sufficient. It will soften during assembly and hold its shape better.
