Method

  1. 1 Sauté the minced meat with garlic for 8 minutes until it's fluffy and slightly browned, then let it cool slightly.
  2. 2 Quickly dip the rice paper into water, then spread it out on a damp cloth for 30 seconds to soften it evenly.
  3. 3 If you dip it for too long, the rice paper will become soggy and break apart as soon as you roll it; just a quick touch of water is enough.
  4. 4 Arrange lettuce, rice noodles, minced meat, and herbs in a layer, then roll it tightly into a tube.
  5. 5 Mix fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, and chili peppers, then sprinkle crushed roasted peanuts into the dipping bowl.
