Rice-paper wrappers (found in Asian grocery stores)
makes about 12 small rolls
Rice wrappers need to be soaked briefly in warm water to soften them. To make it easier, use a pie pan, a tart pan or a wide dinner plate big enough to hold the flat wrapper.
Place one softened wrapper on a low- lint towel, place a large spoonful of the veggie mixture in the center section of the wrapper and roll up by folding in sides, then roll up tightly.
