*Step 1:
Prepare a big bowl of warm water to wet the rice paper wrappers. Put 2 rice paper wrappers in the bowl (one by one); then remove from the water immediately. Place one on the top of the other on a cutting board.
*Step 2:
Put 7 small pieces of vegetarian chicken patties on 1/3 of the rice paper wrapper; then place 1 half-piece Romaine lettuce, 4 pieces of mint leaves, and about ¼ Cup cooled rice noodles over the top of the patty pieces. Finish by placing 1 more half-piece of Romaine lettuce on top to separate the other ingredients from the rice paper.
*Step 3:
Starting with the edge where the stacked ingredients are placed, roll the rice paper wrapper gently to avoid breaking. Trim the two ends so the wrap looks even; then cut in half.
*Step 4:
Repeat Steps 1 to 3 to make three more salad wraps.
*Step 5:
The final touch is to place the salad wraps in bento trays or on plates for serving. Place a cup containing the Peanut Sauce, and then place a piece of sweet orange or crispy grapes for garnish.
