Ingredients list:
12 sheets |
Rice paper, round, approx. 20 - 22 cm diameter |
1 head |
Iceberg lettuce, approx. 2 - 3 leaves torn into 12 smaller pieces |

glass noodles |

Carrot(s) and/or fresh cucumber, cut into small strips |

Garlic chives or regular chives |
12 |
Shrimp(s), cooked or fried and seasoned |
180g |
Meat of your choice, e.g. briefly fried beef fillet |
preparation
Halve the prawns lengthwise and cut the meat into strips about 5 mm thick.
Pour hot water over the glass noodles and soak for about 2-5 minutes until they are cooked.
Briefly dip each rice paper in warm water until it's somewhat soft (not too long, or it'll start to stick together!). Place the softened rice paper on a work surface and immediately top with the ingredients (see video). When adding the toppings, make sure the shrimp or meat is facing up and visible, and that the shrimp are placed cut-side up on the rice paper so that the fried side is visible through the paper. Roll up the chives so that they stick out of the top of the roll (see image).
