10 rice paper spring roll wrappers
Immerse one of the spring roll wrappers in the warm water for about 5+/- seconds. The wrapper should be soft and pliable. Transfer to a work surface.

To the bottom half of the wrapper, stack the filling ingredients. Place a lettuce leaf on the wrapper and stack the on top some of the bean threads, carrots, cucumber, red pepper, bean sprouts, and a few cilantro leaves.
To roll the spring roll, fold in the two sides of the wrapper over the ingredients followed by the end of the wrapper closest to you.

Notes

Make sure to thinly slice all the vegetables to 2 to 3 inches in length. This slim size adds to the ease of assembling the spring rolls.
Cook the bean threads for 3 to 5 minutes in boiling water. Pick these up in the Asian section of your grocery store. Rinse the cooked noodles with cold water. This will prevent them from sticking together. Drain well so you will not have soggy spring rolls.
Have a large work surface for assembling and rolling of the vegetable spring rolls.
Quickly dip the spring roll wrappers in warm water to soften them.
Place the filling ingredients on the lower half of the spring roll wrapper. Fold in the 2 sides then the end closest to you and roll up the spring roll nice and snug.
