Ingredients
80 g dried vermicelli noodles, cooked as packet instructions18 sheets of 22cm rice paper
18 cooked small tiger prawns, peeled and sliced in half
120 g cooked pork neck, finely sliced
1 cup firmly packed shredded iceberg lettuce
1 bunch perilla leaf
1 bunch mint
Round rice paper
Bowl of water
Preparation
To assemble the rolls, cut 6 sheets of rice paper in half. Fill a large bowl with warm water and dip 1 whole sheet of rice paper in the water until it softens then lay flat on a plate. Dip a half sheet of rice paper in the water and lay it vertically in the middle of the round sheet. This will strengthen the roll, preventing the filling breaking through.In the middle of the rice paper, place 3 pieces of prawn in a horizontal line approximately 4 cm from the top. Below the prawns add some perilla leaves, lettuce, pork, mint and vermicelli.
To form the roll, first fold the sides into the centre over the filling, then the bottom of the rice paper up and over. Roll from bottom to top to form a tight roll, and just before you complete the roll add 2 pieces of garlic chives so that they stick out at one end.
Serve 2 rolls per person with dipping fish sauce.

Springrolls deconstructed
This is another great and informational clip. @paul from Queanbeyan, I'm pretty sure that where you read "created by" it meant the video clip and the posting not the recipe. I don't think he mentioned once that he invented the recipe for this meal.

Created by? I don't think so.
Hello Luke. "Created by" may or may not be your terminology but I don't believe you created this recipe. This is your version of a long standing recipe, like mine, but different. May I suggest you remove the words 'created by' and assume a more accurate position on the tree of creativity.

This is very common Vietnamese meal. However, if you're really love 'these rice paper rolls', and you're thinking/planning to visit Vietnam then I suggest you visit Tay Ninh. A town north west of Saigon, next to Cambodia border. Try it there.
They have to best rice paper rolls found nowhere else in Vietnam.
1) The pork is boiled in coconut juice, tender and sweet
2) The rice paper is thick but soft and can only be found in Tay Ninh
3) The herbs, again are only found in Tay Ninh

Hot Tips
Which oil for which type of cooking
Olive oil has well reported health benefits, however it does burn easily and has a strong flavour that can adversely affect your cooking. Oils with a high flash point (that can withstand high temperatures) include canola, sunflower and peanut. Of these canola carries the least flavour.
Glossary
Comino Seed
A plant related to the carrot. Aromatic, somewhat bitter seeds of the Comino, used in chilli powders, pickles, spare ribs, and other meat dishes.
