Step one

Slice pork tenderloin in half lengthwise, cut halves into thin strips. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat; , cook pork until browned, about 10 minutes. Add ½ cup (125 mL) VH® Medium Garlic Rib Sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes until sauce glazes the meat, set aside.
Step two

Place one rice paper in large bowl of warm water to soften, about 1 minute. Carefully remove paper and lay on work surface. In the bottom third of paper, place small piece of lettuce, top with small pile of noodles (about 2 tbsp./30 mL). Top noodles with fillings, being careful not to overstuff or the paper will tear.
Step three

Fold the bottom of paper over top of fillings and begin to roll into a cylinder. Fold sides in and continue rolling to enclose. Once all the rolls are finished slice in half; serve with remaining ½ cup (125 mL) VH® Medium Garlic Rib Sauce for dipping.

Tips

To simplify preparation of the rolls have all ingredients laid out ready for rolling. Also, after noodles are drained with cold water toss them with 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil to prevent from sticking.
