Vietnam Rice Paper Rolls #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes # #asiancooking

Did you read the San Choy Bow (Lettuce Cups with Pork filling) recipe from our blog? I cooked extra filling when making the San Choy Bow and used the filling to make this popular hawker food of Vietnam Rice Paper Rolls - so easy, delicious and healthy.

Ingredients:

10 Rice Paper Wraps
1.5 cups San Choy Bow Filling , cold - please check our blog for the recipe
50g Rice Vermicelli Noodles - soak in hot water 10 minutes, drain.
1 cup Carrot - cut into fine strips - soak in ice water 10 minutes, drain
2/3 cup Cucumber - cut into fine strips
Fresh Coriander, if necessary

Method:

Soak a single rice paper wrap in the warm water 10 seconds.
Dry on a clean tea towel.
Place on a plate/chopping board.
Place the pork filling, rice vermicelli, cucumber, carrot and coriander in the centre of the rice paper -  do not overfill.
Roll up and cover with cling wrap if not eating immediately.
Only soak the rice paper wrap for 10-15 seconds, and begin the rolls as soon as possible.
Serve cold with the dipping sauce

Dipping Sauce:

1 teaspoon Chilli, chopped finely
2 tablespoons Peanuts, chopped finely
 Coriander, Mint or Thai Basil - chopped finely
1 tablespoon Sweet Chilli Sauce
1 tablespoon Thai/Vietnam Fish Stock
2 tablespoons Apple Sauce
1 teaspoon Lime/Lemon Juice
Some drops Sesame Oil
Ground Pepper

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate

  1. Can you serve these hot if you steam them?

    1. If you leave the cucumber strips out of the recipe there is no reason why the Rice Paper Rolls cannot be served hot. If you wish to steam them place them on baking paper and place in the steamer for about 5 minutes. You can also pan fry them in a little oil till they are golden brown. Whichever method of heating you choose be sure to keep the rolls separate as they will tend to stick together when cooked.
