    Directions

    Rice Paper Rolls

    I first became addicted to these rice paper rolls in an underground mall near my work when I lived in Toronto. They were incredibly simple just letttuce , coriander and a few large prawns, served with a small pot of sweet chilli sauce.

    But I hadn’t thought about making my own until I saw some packets of papers in my local Asian Supermarket , getting hold of the rice paper is probably the hardest thing , made with rice & tapioca. Sold dried like gelatine sheets.

    I am certain anyone who can roll a salad wrap can make these. This isn’t really cooking it’s assemblage, the results are light fragrant bites . You can put whatever you want in eat just bear in mind you need to be able to bite easily though so nothing to chewy else the delicate rolls will fall apart. I promise the hardest thing is deciding on a filling.

    Rice Paper Rolls

    Make 12 rolls

    Repeat until all the papers are used up , leave the rolls for 20 minutes or so to allow the paper to go slightly opaque this will ensure the wraps stay together when eaten
