Trying my hand at rice paper rolls

I decided to get a little bit creative in the kitchen tonight (don't laugh, this is about as creative as I get when it's cooking & not baking!) & try my hand at making rice paper rolls.

These make a really tasty (& healthy) gluten free meal and can fill them with anything you wish :-)

'Unsoaked' Rice Paper

Mr. B & I chose the following ingredients:

-Roast chicken
-Baby Cos Lettuce
-Cucumber (cut into sticks)
-Grated carrots
-Sun dried tomatoes
-Red onion (Mr. B had on his)

For Dipping Sauces:
-Sweet Chilli Sauce
-Gluten free Soy & Garlic Sauce
-Teriyaki Sauce
& my favourite Kewpie Mayonnaise!

Method:

1. Prepare meat (if you are having any) as required (we used left over roast chicken, lol)
2. Cut all vegetables/salad & set aside
3. Fill a bowl with warm water & take 1 sheet of rice paper roll & wet sheet all over
4. Set sheet aside on a damp tea towel & wait 1 min until sheet is soft & pliable
5. Spread some filling ingredients on one end of rice paper. Fold the bottom edge over the fillings, fold in both sides & roll away
6. Repeat until all ingredients are used
7. Serve with dipping sauces

Volia! You have created a master piece. Well, yours are bound to look prettier than my 1st attempt :P

These were so delicious that I made two extra for my work lunch :-)

I will be putting up a post this week about Mr. B & my lil adventure trucking it down south to help move, so keep tuned for that!
