Method
Step 1
Spring rolls make a refreshing change at Christmas and aside from chopping the ingredients, there really isn’t too much to it.
Step 2
Because the filling options are endless, I’ve listed the ingredients that we typically put in our rolls, whilst considering what you might have in your fridge at this time of year.
Step 3
Essentially, thinly shaved turkey paired with any grated or finely sliced vegetables of your choice, cooked or raw, will taste delicious.
Step 4
The dipping sauce: A simple shop bought Thai sweet chilli or hoisin sauce works well. I’ve listed a couple of homemade sauce options too.
Step 5
To make the fresh rolls, fill a large bowl with tepid water – the bowl needs to be large enough to fit the rice paper sheet in.
Step 6
Briefly dip 1 rice paper sheet into the bowl of water and place it directly onto a chopping board to soften as you add your choice of ingredients.
Step 7
Place a small pinch of your chosen fillings in a pile onto the spring roll sheet, using 1/3 of the space closest to you. Start with slightly less filling until you get the hang of it and roll according to the packet instructions.
