How To Make vegetable & shrimp spring rolls

• Step 1
  For Garlic sauce: In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together well, making sure sugar dissolves. Set aside. For Peanut sauce: In a small sauce pan, whisk together all ingredients and heat on low until sauce thickens. Set aside.
• Step 2
  Fill a small shallow cake pan with warm water. Working with 4 sheets of rice paper at a time, immerse them in water and let stand until very pliable, about 45 seconds.
• Step 3
  Carefully arrange soaked sheets in a single layer on paper towels to drain.
• Step 4
  Working with 1 soaked sheet at a time and keeping remaining sheets covered with dampened paper towels, put sheet on a clean dry work surface and arrange a pinch of cilantro leaves in a horizontal line across bottom, leaving a 1-inch border on bottom edge and on each side. Top with shrimp pieces, carrot, cucumber, scallions, noodles and lettuce.
• Step 5
  Gently roll up filling tightly in sheet, folding in the sides of sheet to completely enclose filling (like a burrito), and continue rolling.
• Step 6
  Transfer assembled rolls to a tray and cover with dampened paper towels. Tightly cover tray with plastic wrap (keeping dampened paper towels directly on spring rolls) and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Step 7
  Make remaining spring rolls in same manner until all sheets are filled.
• Step 8
  Just before serving, using a serrated knife, cut spring rolls in half diagonally. Arrange spring rolls on a platter and serve with dipping sauces.
• Step 9
  NOTE: Rice paper may become sticky. Just use a little water or oil to help. You will lose a few sheets while perfecting the process. Once you get the hange of it, it goes smoothly. But it will take a couple tries, so don't get inpatient.
