• For rolls, place various filling items in bowls around your work space.
• Working with one rice paper at a time, submerge in a large, shallow bowl of water for a few seconds.
• Remove rice paper from water and place on your work surface.
• Layer even amounts of each of your filling ingredients on lower third of the paper, leaving room on each side so you can tuck edges in before completing the roll up, ideally ending up with a sealed package.
