No-Need-To-Cook Hoisin Spring Rolls

Be careful when handling rice paper – it can tear very easily. It’s a great store-cupboard ingredient as they are great for a last minute snack or starter – all you do is soak them in hot water and then fill with your favourite ingredients.

Method

Place the rice paper wrappers in a heatproof bowl and cover with hot water, leave to soak for 5 minutes until soft and pliable.

In a separate bowl, toss together the carrot, cucumber, salad onions and sesame seeds.

Drain the rice papers on a clean tea towel and spread 1 Tsp of the hoisin sauce across the centre of each. Sprinkle with a few coriander leaves. Place the vegetables and then the chicken on top. Make sure that you don’t over fill them as they may split if you do.

Fold 2 sides in, then roll up to make a neat cylindrical shape. Serve immediately with extra hoisin sauce to dip into.
