Heat a teapot of water to boiling.
Place rice noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit about 2 minutes or until soft. Drain noodles. Cut noodles into lengths about 4 inches long.

Roll sides of spring roll wrapper towards center. Starting at end nearest you, tightly roll spring roll, shaping like a burrito. Place on serving plate and cover with damp paper towel. If serving later, wrap each spring roll separately.
Repeat process until you have 16 spring rolls. Do not let spring rolls touch each other as they will stick and tear.
