I love a meal with some interactivity and rice paper rolls are the perfect option to change things up a little bit. All it takes is a little food prep in advance and everyone gets the chance to customize their meal to their own personal preferences. And what could be more refreshing than a veggie-packed rice paper roll? I like to make mine with this marinated sirloin as a protein option, alongside my veggies, herbs, noodles, and dipping sauces.
