  3. Make sure your prepared fillings are within reach.
  4. Combine the green onion, cilantro and mint in a small bowl, and stir.
  5. Place one rice paper in the water and let it rest for about 20 seconds, give or take.
  6. Leaving about 1 inch of open rice paper around the edges, cover the lower third of the paper with a few pieces of butter lettuce, followed by a small handful of rice noodles, some cabbage, and a few strips of carrot, cucumber and jalapeño.
  7. Sprinkle generously with the herb mix.
  8. Fold the lower edge up over the fillings, rolling upward just until the filling is compactly enclosed.
  9. Fold over the short sides like you would to make a burrito. Lastly, roll it up.
