INGREDIENTS
Rice Paper Roll Ingredients
- 12 x 22cm rice paper roll rounds
- 1 cup Pulled Chicken, Pulled Pork or Shreeded Tofu (roast chicken, prawns or mince would also work)
- 1/2 cup Bean Sprouts (cut in half)
- 1 small red capiscum (thinly sliced)
- 1/8 Wombok thinly sliced (Chinese Cabbage)
- 1/3 cup mint leaves (fresh)
- 1/2 cup corriander leaves (fresh)
- 2 tblspoons Lime Juice (approx 1 lime)
- 1 tblspoon Fish Sauce
Sauce Ingredients
- 1/8 cup Tamari
- 1 tsp Lime Juice (simply steal a tsp from the rice paper roll recipe)
- 1 tblspoon Peanut Butter (or other nut butter)
- 1/8 – 1/4 tsp Chilli flakes depending on desired spice
Tip: For allergies omit the peanut butter, it’s still quite nice without it!
METHOD
Making the filling
- Combine the chicken, bean sprouts, red capsicum, wombok, mint, corriander, lime juice & fish sauce in a mixing bowl until well combined. Set aside while you prepare your first rice paper roll.
Putting your rice paper rolls together
- Place the rice paper roll on a decent sized flat and clean chopping board.
- Splash some water onto the rice paper roll and spread around with your fingers until it soaks in (the rice paper roll will go moist and will now be pliable – you may soak them in shallow warm water if you prefer but I find this moistens them too much and they go kind of soggy).
- Arrange 1/4 cup of mixture onto the rice paper roll in a horizontal row slightly off centre towards you. Any ingredients that have remained long, line up across ways to make the rolling process easier.
- Fold the edges in and roll up tightly rolling away from you to enclose the filling.
- Continue this method until all the mixture is used up. The beauty of this method is that if you don’t use all the rice paper rolls, it doesn’t matter simply store them for next time!
Satay Dipping Sauce
- Combine ingredients in a small bowl and whisk with a small whisk or fork until the peanut butter has dissolved.
- Take to work in a small jar for less mess, just make sure the jar has a wide enough mouth for dipping your rice paper rolls into!
