Vietnamese spring rolls

Ingredients:

  • 6 spring roll wrappers
  • 1 red pepper thinely sliced
  • 2 cooked chicked breasts, shredded
  • Handful of coriander and mint chopped
  • 4 Spring onions finely sliced
  • Half a cucumber, cut into thin batons
  • 2 chillies finely chopped
  • Handful of beansprouts
  • Dipping sauce (see below)
  •  

Method:

Soak the rice paper wrappers in warm water as per instructions on packet, you will be able to buy these from some supermarkets or preferably buy from a chinese supermarket.

Meanwhile combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and leave to sit for a couple of minutes to let the flavours combine.

Once the wrappers are pliable you can then build the spring rolls, simply remove the wrappers from the water and lay on a clean, damp dish cloth.  Place the wrapper in the centre and add a rounded tablespoon of the mixture in the centre of the roll in the shape of a cigar.  Fold both ends over and then roll lengthways to create the spring roll.

Cut in half and serve with dipping sauce, simple and tasty.
