Fill large bowl with hot, filtered tap water. Dunk wrappers, completely immersing them 2 at a time, until soft, about 1-2 minutes. Stack wrappers in piles of 2 with damp paper towels between the wrappers.(Or, you can roll them each right away, and follow step #4) 2. Place a small amount of the spinach leaves, cilantro, mint, and basil in the center of the wrapper. 3. Add a piece of carrot, avocado, cucumber and pepper on top of the leaves. Fold the outside edges in, then roll up like a cigar, as gently, but tightly as you can. 4. Place seam down on platter, with damp paper towel on top, until finished rolling all the rolls. 5. Serve with dishes of Spicy Peanut Sauce for dipping. |
