    Ingredients

    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 In a large bowl, place cabbage, carrot, peanuts and coriander. Add 1 tablespoon of the sweet chilli sauce and toss to combine.

    2 Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip 1 rice paper round into water for 10-20 seconds, or until just soft. Place on a clean kitchen cloth to absorb excess water. Place 2 mint leaves in centre of the round. Top with some cabbage mixture, snow peas, avocado and 1/12 of the prawns. Fold up sides and roll to firmly enclose filling. Repeat to make 12 rice paper rolls.

    3 In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice and remaining sweet chilli sauce. Serve rolls with the soy dipping sauce.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce are gluten free.

    Make it vegan: Use vegan prawn alternative and check sweet chilli sauce and rice paper rounds are vegan.

    HFG tip

    Check the nutrition panels and choose rice paper wrappers with less than 800mg sodium per 100g. Lower is better.
