Preparation
    Place noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 10 mins, or until noodles have softened. Drain and let cool.
    Combine noodles, papaya, carrot and tomatoes in a large bowl. Using a mortar and pestle, grind garlic and chilies until crushed. Add sugar, fish sauce and lime juice and grind until smooth. Pour over salad and toss to combine.
    Lay a clean tea towel on a flat work surface. Working with 1 rice paper wrapper at a time, dip into a bowl of warm water for 15 seconds, or until wrapper is soft and pliable. Place on tea towel and add a little filling to the lower 1/3 of wrapper. Top with 3 mint leaves then roll up to enclose filling, tucking in sides. Cut in 1/2. Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers, filling and mint leaves. Chill until ready to serve.
