  1. In the meantime, boil water for the rice paper.
  2. Remove the vegetable filling mixture from the heat and put it in a bowl you can easily scoop from.
  3. Dip one rice paper on one side and then the other side and move to a plate. Rice paper doesn't have to become soft in the water – it will soften on the plate. If you leave it in the water too long it will stick together, and you won’t be able to add the filling.

  1. Repeat this step with another rice paper and layer it on top of the first one. Add mixture and wrap it like a baby in a blanket. Set aside and repeat this process for the remainder of the vegetable filling.
