1. Prepare the pork by cooking it until tender, then shred it into thin strips.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, and chili pepper to make the dipping sauce.
3. Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds until it becomes pliable.

5. Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a roll.
