Method

  1. To make the peanut sauce mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Add 3 tbsp water, mix again then pour into a serving bowl.
  2. Pour boiling water over the noodles and leave for 3 minutes until soft. Rinse under cold water, drain and put on a clean tea towel and cut into pieces about 12 cm long with scissors.
  3. Put the vegetables, herbs and noodles in separate piles on a tray.
  4. Pour hot water into a bowl then drop in 1 rice paper and leave for about 30 seconds until softened. Remove and drain off the excess water with kitchen towel. Put 2 mint leaves on the top portion of the wrapper and a small amount of each of the vegetables, coriander and noodles across the lower middle of the circle. Bring up the lower part of the rice circle over the vegetables and then fold the sides in. Roll up into a tight spring roll. Put seam-side down on a tray then repeat for the other wrappers. Serve the rolls whole or cut diagonally just before serving with a very sharp knife. Serve with the peanut dipping sauce

    Quite fiddly but worth the effort. The dipping sauce is delicious. Served this with the duck recipe recommended and it was a superb feast!! Lovely flavours.

    Really good and once you've gotten a hang of making the rolls its easy and they look stunning. The dipping sauce was a very nice surprise, very tasty. Fantastic as a starter for a thai or Vietnamese dinner or simply to impress guests at a party.

    I love these and was searching for a recipe to try as a first time maker. I didn't use rocket. Nor onion. I added mange tout and a smear of peanut butter as I chose to serve the rolls with sweet chilling sauce and soy sauce instead.
