Making Crispy Rice Paper Spring Rolls is simple and can be done in just a few steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your fillings and chop them into thin, manageable pieces. Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions and set aside.

2. Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds until it softens. Carefully lay it flat on a clean surface.

3. Layer the Fillings: In the center of the softened rice paper, place a small handful of lettuce, followed by a few pieces of shrimp, vermicelli noodles, carrots, cucumber, mint, cilantro, and bean sprouts.

4. Roll the Spring Roll: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the wrapper tightly until it’s fully enclosed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

5. Fry or Serve Fresh: For crispy rolls, heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the rolls until golden brown on all sides. For fresh rolls, simply serve as is.
