ASSEMBLING
A good workable surface for rolling is a moistened paper towel so the rice paper does not get stuck to the surface.
1. Put warm water onto a plate and allow rice paper to sit for 5-7 seconds. It should soften and be pliable when ready to use.
2. Put a small handful of carrots and cucumbers, a few pieces of thinly sliced avocado, a small handful of spinach, some of the noodle mixture down the middle of the wrap and roll.
3. Fold the corners in to hold the contents inside.
