Place the prepared carrot, cucumber and avocado in separate bowls.
Fill a shallow plastic container with warm water, wet the rice paper sheets by dipping and sliding through the warm water then place onto a board covered with a damp tea towel.
To make the rice paper roll easier to roll – place a lettuce leaf in the palm of your hand and gently fill the centre of the leaf with small even amounts of noodles, carrot, cucumber sticks and a slice of avocado. Roll the leaf up tightly then place horizontally in the bottom third of the rice paper round.
On the rice paper round in front of the lettuce and veg roll, place a mint leaf, basil leaf and a coriander leaf. (Right side facing down)
Bring the lower edge up and over the lettuce roll, then fold in the sides, continue rolling till completely enclosed.
Place on a paper lined tray and cover with dampened kitchen towel.
Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
