This is a very delicate piece of art when wrapping up the rice paper with fillings as I failed a couple of times trying to perfect it.
That is why I called it “Com’On Rice Paper Rolls“.
Ingredients( makes 12 )
- 50g vermicelli rice noodles
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced into matchsticks
- 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/2 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander
- 12 round rice paper sheets
Dipping Sauce(makes 3/4 cup)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
Combine lime juice and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir over a low heat until sugar is dissolved. Cool. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Method
- Place rice noodles in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well.
- Return noodles to the bowl. Cut several times with kitchen scissors. Add capsicum, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts, mint and coriander. Add in 2 tbsp of dipping sauce and toss to combine.
- Working with one rice paper sheet at a time, submerge it in a shallow dish of warm water for about 10 to 15 seconds, or until it begins to soften.
- Carefully lift sheet from water and place on a chopping board.
- At one end, place 1/3 cup of the noodle mixture. Fold three sides inwards, then roll tightly to enclose filling. Repeat to make 12. Serve with dipping sauce and lime. Voila!
