Boil the water, place the dried vermicelli rice noodles in a bowl, pour over the water and soak for five minutes
Strain the noodles and allow to cool while you assemble the rest of the vegetables and herbs
Pour more hot water into a shallow bowl, then quickly dip one sheet of the rice paper in the water and place on a dry cutting board
Moving quickly, place three mint leaves (or cilantro, if using) in the bottom third of the rice paper sheet. Place a thumb-sized amount of each of the thinly sliced vegetables on the leaves and top with the same amount or vermicelli noodles
Quickly fold over the rice paper, fold in each side of the rice paper and continue rolling until you form a spring roll. This method is just like folding a burrito, move quickly so the rice paper doesn’t break
Continue with remaining rice papers until you use all the noodles and vegetables
