Roll
Dip a rice paper sheet briefly in warm water and lay it flat. On the edge closest to you, place a lettuce leaf, then a few herb sprigs, some bean sprouts, a little noodles and 2 slices of pork. Lay 3 shrimp halves in a row just above, red side down on the rice paper, all facing the same way. Roll the edge closest to you over the filling and fold in both sides. Add 1 garlic chive so it sticks out at one end, then keep rolling, pressing gently to make it tight. Cover finished rolls with a damp cloth.
