Instructions

Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add rice noodles and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, then drain them and rinse them under cold water (to stop the cooking process) and set aside.
Working with one brown rice paper at a time, place it in a medium bowl of warm water (dipping it gently) and remove it from water after 5 seconds. Place brown rice paper on a flat surface immediately after removing from water and add chickpea, rice noodles, and veggies to the center of the paper. **NOTE: I use about 1 tablespoon of each thing to avoid over-packing.**
Fold over one side of the rice paper, then fold over the top and bottom, before tightly rolling (in a rolling motion) and sealing the opposite side.
Repeat steps until all spring rolls are made.
To serve, cut spring rolls in half, if desired and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Dip in your favorite sauce--peanut sauce, soy sauce, etc.
Bon Appetite!
