Preparation

  1. 10 secs

    Fill a large bowl with warm water. Working one at a time, dip each rice paper sheet in the water for like 10-15 seconds until it starts to soften - don't leave it too long or it'll get mushy. (The rice paper will continue softening as you work, so don't worry if it still feels a bit firm when you pull it out)

  2. Lay the softened rice paper on a damp kitchen towel and fold it in half. Place a piece of lettuce on the wrapper with the top sticking out over the folded edge.

  3. Spread about 1 teaspoon of hoisin sauce over the lettuce, then add some tuna, grated carrot, bean sprouts, cilantro, and green onions. Drizzle a little peanut sauce on top. (Don't overfill these or they'll be impossible to roll - learned that one the hard way)

  4. Fold up the rounded edge of the wrapper, then roll it tightly around the filling. The rice paper should stick to itself as you roll.

  5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and serve immediately with extra peanut sauce for dipping.

Notes

If you're packing these for lunch, wrap them individually in damp paper towels so they don't dry out and get all chewy.
