Rolling Summer Rolls

1. Bring large pot of water to boil. Then turn off.

2. Dip one rice paper into hot water. Rotate the rice paper quickly until it’s pliable. Remove it from the water and spread it out on a clean working surface. (It’s not hard to work with, although it reminds me of what it might be to work with a jellyfish.)

3. Place your fresh roll mixture on the bottom third of the wrapper. Starting with the salad end, begin to roll the wrapper tightly around the salad. When you’ve rolled halfway up, fold the sides of the wrapper towards the center, then continue rolling.
