Simpler Summer Rolls

3. 3
   Fill a shallow bowl with warm tap water and drop in 4 of the rice papers, one at a time.
4. 4
   In about 3 minutes they should be very soft and pliable.
5. 5
   Lift them from the water and lay them out on a clean kitchen towel.
6. 6
   Divide one third of the herb mixture among the 4 papers, arranging each portion in a strip lengthwise across the center.
7. 7
   Sprinkle with peanuts.
8. 8
   Roll each one up into a snug cylinder and place it on a platter.
9. 9
   Repeat the soaking, filling, and rolling in two more batches.
10. 10
    Serve the rolls right away with the dipping sauce or cover them with a damp paper towel and then plastic wrap; theyll hold for about 2 hours in a cool spot (not the refrigerator).
