Prepare three clean towels soaked in hot water.

Have a bowl of hot water on the side.

Dip the rice paper in the hot water and place it in the first towel, then cover it with the second towel.

Let the rice paper sit for about a minute to absorb water and soften.

Slowly pull back the top towel; the rice paper should feel tacky.

Hold the rice paper to prevent shifting; place a piece of lettuce on the rice paper about a third of the way from you.

Put about half a cup of filling on top of the lettuce.

Pull the rice paper closest to you up and over the filling, fold in the sides, and continue to roll tightly while gently pulling on the rice paper.

Repeat the process for the second spring roll, using the same method.

Serve spring rolls with sweet chili sauce and Thai peanut sauce.
