Vietnamese Rolls

Healthy, Simple and most of all, fun to make!
Summer food to have with nice light beer.





You'll need:

+Rice Paper
+Vermicelli
+Chicken
+Prawn (optional)
+Carrot (shredded)
+Tauge
+Coriander & Mint & Basil (LOADS)

Sauce:
+Fresh Garlic (smashed/pressed/chopped)
+Fresh Chilli (or just substitute with sweet chilli sauce)
+2 lemons at least
+fish sauce
+spoon of sugar
+white vinegar

................................................................................

1)Boil chicken, shred and keep aside.
2)Prawns to be deveined, boiled and kept aside to cool down.
3)Use the same water you boiled the meat in, add some stock, then boil the tauge, the vermicelli seperately.
4)Keep stock, don't throw...can use to soften the rice paper when you are about to eat.

5)Arrange everything on the table...think interactive hands only eating.

6)For the sauce, mix all ingredients together then add sugar to taste, feel free to dilute it. You will need to distribute the sauce to each person in their own bowl for dipping of the rolls.

To eat:
7)Soak each rice roll paper individually in the warm stock you have left over.
8)Gently (it breaks when you breathe...) lay the roll on a flat plate.
9)Start with some vermicelli, carrot shreds, tauge, then the meat (whatever you like), then top with LOADS of fresh herbs.
10)Attempt to fold into a nice tight roll as shown.



To serve:
11)Everyone gets a bowl of sauce and a flat plate to attempt this.
12)Make fun of those who end up with mutant rolls....key is to do a little at a time, not stuff a lot at once.
ENJOY!
