"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Ingredients:  
1 package rice paper wrappers
warm water for soaking rice paper wrappers
1/4 cup cilantro leaves (optional)
1/2 cup julienned red bell pepper
1/2 cup julienned yellow bell pepper
1 cup snow peas, stringed and julienned
3 1/2 oz package of enoki mushrooms
1 cup bean sprouts
1/4 cup pickled ginger
2 tbs black sesame seeds (or toasted white sesame seeds)
handful of seasoned buckwheat or soba noodles cook according to package directions (I used plain white rice noodles)

Orange-chilli dipping sauce:
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 tbs sugar
3 tbs soy sauce
2 tsp lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
1 tbs sesame oil
1 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp kosher salt

Ingredients should be ready (cut up) for assembly. Mise-en-place

In a large pie plate with a high edge filled with warm water, soak 1 rice paper wrapper for about 20 seconds or until soft. Lay the wrapper on a flat surface. About 1/3 from the bottom of the wrapper, create a 3 inch long row by placing some cilantro leaves, red/yellow pepper, snow peas, mushrooms, bean sprouts, noodles and ginger. Season to taste with salt/pepper. Carefully fold bottom of the wrapper over the vegetables, rolling leaving seam side down. Cut into 2-3 inch pieces.

You can prepare this one day ahead but you need to cover with a damp (durable) paper towel, then with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out.

Dipping sauce:
Whisk all ingredients, let stand at least 30 minutes so that the flavours can infuse. Serve at room temperature.

Personal Notes:
This might seem daunting at first but it's super easy and you can use whatever ingredients you want. I've used shrimp (cut in half lengthwise), thinly sliced chicken, bib/Boston lettuce, regular lettuce, shredded carrots ... pretty much anything that's crunchy because it's all about texture.

It's definitely an amazing, delicious, impressive appetizer.
