Notes

Note 1: If you’re using sugar, make sure to dilute the sugar in warm water until it dissolves completely.

Note 2: Do NOT boil your rice noodles! They will get soggy. Instead, soak them in hot water, then rinse them in cold water, drain, and you’re done!

Note 3: Don’t be intimidated by the rice paper wrappers. Just soak them in warm water until they’re soft and pull them out immediately. Leaving your wrappers in hot water for too long will result in them tearing. Don’t worry, the wraps will continue to soften as you add the ingredients.
