Directions

Step 1

1. In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic to make the marinade.

Step 2

2. Add the vegetarian shrimp to the marinade and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Step 6

6. To soften a rice paper wrapper, briefly dip it into the bowl of warm water (about 5 seconds) until it becomes pliable. Transfer it to your damp towel or mat.

Step 7

7. Layer a small amount of noodles across the center of the wrapper, followed by a few pieces of vegetarian shrimp, a handful of mixed vegetables, and a few mint and cilantro leaves.

Step 8

8. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the fillings, then fold the bottom over and roll tightly. Press gently to seal.

Step 9

9. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 10
