Instructions
For the Spring Rolls

- Fill a shallow container with warm water. One at a time, place a sheet of rice paper in the warm water until it softens (about 30 seconds).
- Remove rice paper in water and place desired fillings in the center of the rice paper in a line. Be sure not to overfill the rice paper. (This will take some practice.)
