Spring Roll, Master Recipe

1. 1

   Soak the rice noodles in boiling water until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Rinse under cold water and drain.

3. 3

   Prepare all of your fillings and put them in bowls (or neat piles) so that they're all in place once you're ready to start rolling.

4. 4

   Prepare the wrappers, and roll: If you're using rice paper, soak a round in a dish or skillet of hot water until pliable, about 10 seconds.

5. 5

   Put the round on a paper or dish towel so it doesn't stick, then fill and roll as tightly as you can, folding in the sides like a burrito.

6. 6

   If you're using nori, spritz the sheets all over with a little water to soften them slightly.

7. 7

   Spread the rice noodles all over the nori except for the far edge.

8. 8

   Pile the fillings closest to you and roll, wetting the far edge with a little more water so you can seal the roll.

9. 9

   Keep them as long rolls, or cut them into smaller pieces if you prefer.

10. 10

    If you're using lettuce, just spread the leaves out flat, the fill and roll as tightly as you can, folding in the sides like a burrito.

11. 11

    Serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
