Preparation
Step 1
Place the rice vermicelli noodles in a pan of boiling water. Reduce the heat and boil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain with cold water.
Step 2
Place warm water in a large flat-bottomed dish. Working with one rice paper at a time, place one rice paper in the warm water for 3-4 seconds.
Step 3
Lay the rice paper flat on a chopping board. Place a lettuce leaf on the rice paper. Place the vermicelli noodles, sliced vegetables, and prawns in the centre ensuring to leave room at the sides.
Step 4
Fold the bottom of the rice paper completely over the filling. Then fold in the sides.
Step 5
Roll up the summer rolls as tightly as possible. Practice makes perfect! Repeat steps 2-5 for the remaining rice paper sheets.
Tips: For extra crunch and flavour, add beansprouts, fresh mint, and coriander to the rolls.
