Avocado and vegetable rice-paper rolls
These light rice paper rolls are packed with the goodness of fresh avocado and vegetables.
Ingredients
- 8 small rice-paper wrappers
- ½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- ¾ cup (50g) beansprouts, trimmed
- 1 small carrot, peeled, grated
- 1 medium Lebanese cucumber, peeled, cut into ribbons (see note)
- 1 medium avocado, peeled, cut into strips
- Sweet chilli sauce, to serve
Instructions
- Pour warm water into a heatproof bowl until half full. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in water. Place on a flat surface. Stand for 20 to 30 seconds or until soft enough to roll without splitting.
- Place one-eighth of lettuce along 1 edge of 1 wrapper. Top with one-eighth each of beansprouts, carrot, cucumber and avocado. Fold in ends. Roll up firmly to enclose filling. Cover with a damp tea towel to prevent roll drying out. Repeat with remaining wrappers, lettuce, beansprouts, carrot, cucumber and avocado. Serve with sweet chilli sauce.
Notes
Use a vegetable peeler to cut cucumber into ribbons.
