Instructions
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
