- 3 ounces vermicelli rice noodles
- 16 rice paper wrappers
- 1½ avocados, halved and thinly sliced
- 6 carrots, peeled and julienned
- 30 mint leaves
For the Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce:
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp. fish sauce
- 2 tbsp. each sugar and water
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- ⅛ tsp. red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp. minced cilantro
Begin by making the Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce: Mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl, until the sugar is dissolved.
Next, cook the rice noodles according to the package directions. Then, drain them and rinse with cold water.
In a pan filled with a half inch of warm water, dip one of the rice paper wrappers in until it's soft and pliable. Carefully lay it out on a cutting board. Place some of each ingredient about an inch from the bottom of the rice wrapper. Fold the bottom of the rice wrapper up to cover the ingredients. Then, fold the sides in and roll up the rice wrapper into a log.
Serve with the dipping sauce.
