Marinate pork mince with garlic, white pepper, corn flour and 1/2 tb soy sauce. Oil a frying pan and cook mince. Cool for later use.
Cook rice noodles in boiling water. Drain and mix well with fish sauce, remaining soy sauce and lime juice. Cool for later use.
Prepare a pan of warm water. Soak a piece of rice paper for 5 seconds to soften and place on a board for the wrapping process.
Horizontally across the center of the rice paper, place a portion of mince, rice noodles, lettuce and carrot in a row (don’t be too greedy! The spring roll will burst and you’ll find food all over your table), leaving about 5cm of the wrapper uncovered on the left and right side each.
Fold in the bottom of the wrapper (the side closer to you), followed by folding in the two sides, and then tightly roll upwards from the bottom enclosing the filling.
Repeat with remaining rolls.
