Separate the leaves of the purple cabbage carefully to keep them intact.

Make a small cut around the base of the cabbage leaves to help them blanch more easily.

Blanch the purple cabbage leaves in boiling water to soften them.

Prepare a bowl with lukewarm water to hydrate the rice paper.

Soak the rice paper in the lukewarm water until it becomes pliable and changes texture, about 30 seconds.

Lay the hydrated rice paper flat on a clean surface.

Place a spoonful of the filling (vegetables and cream cheese) near the edge of the rice paper.

Fold the edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal.

Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper and filling.
