    2 c. hot water

Preparation
    Cook noodles according to package; let cool.
    Place all ingredients in an assembly line to construct spring rolls.

    Soak each wrapper just until soft.
    Place wrapper on work area and fill with lettuce, carrot, egg and a small amount of noodles, about 1/4 way up from the bottom of the wrapper.
