• Rice paper wrappers
• 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (or tofu for a vegetarian option)
• 1 cup cooked vermicelli noodles, cooled

Step 4: In the center of the rice paper, layer a small amount of shredded chicken or tofu, vermicelli noodles, lettuce, carrots, cucumber, mint leaves, and cilantro.

Step 5: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then fold the bottom and top edges to seal, creating a neat roll.

Step 6: Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 7: Serve the spring rolls with hoisin sauce and peanut sauce for dipping.
