Instructions

1 Prepare your dipping sauce by whisking together the gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside for about 25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2 Warm a shallow dish of water large enough to fit a rice paper wrapper. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 20-30 seconds, or until it becomes pliable and soft, but not overly sticky.
3 Carefully lay the softened rice paper wrapper flat on a clean, damp surface, such as a cutting board or a plate. Arrange a small portion of cooked vermicelli rice noodles, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and red bell pepper near the bottom edge of the wrapper.
4 Add a few fresh mint leaves, cilantro leaves, and if using, a halved shrimp, on top of the vegetables. Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper wrapper up and over the filling, then fold in the sides snugly.
5 Tightly roll the spring roll upwards from the bottom, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Repeat this process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients until all are used, which should take approximately 20 minutes.
6 Serve the fresh gluten-free rice paper spring rolls immediately with the prepared dipping sauce. The total assembly time should be around 25 minutes, creating a beautiful appetizer.
