Method

If using rice vermicelli, add noodles to a large bowl and cover with hot water. Leave for 3 minutes and drain. Run under cold water for 60 seconds and set aside.
Chop all ingredients and add to a large bowl. Add rice vermicelli and tofu/chicken/fish.
Stir to combine.
Prepare rice paper, by placing warm water in a large saucepan or bowl.
