Rice Paper Rolls

Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 red chili, chopped
  • 12 medium rice paper wrappers
  • 1 cucumber, grated
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves

  • 2 spring onions, chopped

Dipping Sauce:

  • 1 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp chopped coriander

Method:
  1. Combine the ginger and chili in a bowl and mix well. 
  2. Place a rice paper wrapper in a bowl of hot water for about 30 seconds or until it has softened enough to roll. Pat dry and place on a flat surface.
  3. Place some of the cucumber, carrot, lettuce, mint, coriander and spring onion in a line down the center of the rice paper wrapper, leaving about 3cm at one end. Fold up the wrapper at this end. Roll up tightly to enclose the filling, leaving the filling exposed at the top. Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers and ingredients. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Dipping Sauce:

Whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl.
