Home Economics : Rice Paper Rolls

In Home Economics this week we made Rice Paper Rolls! It's basically fresh spring rolls, in my opinion the Rice Paper was salty, sticky and the texture was like eating a balloon but sticky.

 (I don't have preparation photos sadly)

Ingredients

 

Carrots 

Capsicum 

2 Rice paper sheet per person

Cucumber

Lettuce

Parsley 

Method

1. Dip the rice paper sheets in cold water and lay out on a clean bench top and let them soften for a minute

2. Place your selection of fillings in the middle of the softened sheet

3. Fold two sides of the sheet towards the middle

4. Roll into a cylinder shape

5. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

 

Things to remember when making these spring rolls

• You don’t need to soak the rice paper sheets, just wet them, they will soften after a minute

• Use predominantly vegetables and herbs as fillings

• Try to use a combination of ingredients that balance flavour, texture and nutrients

• You can use any combination of ingredients for filling so just use what you like and have available
