    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 In a bowl stir plum sauce, soy sauce and peanut butter together then add meat pieces. In another bowl, combine basil, cucumbers, carrots and capsicums.

    2 Pour very warm water into a soup plate. Gently place one wrapper at a time in the water and wait 30 seconds until it softens. Lift it out and place on a cutting board.

    3 Spoon some chicken onto the wrapper. Add a handful of vegetables. Gather then twist the edges of the ‘wrapper’ together and tie a chive around the neck to make a money bag. Repeat with the other wrappers.

    Variations

    • You can use lettuce or rocket leaves instead of basil.
    • For variety, add a coarsely grated apple or 1/2 cup sliced raw mushrooms.
    • This dish also works well with smoked fish and tofu.
    • Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free soy sauce and check plum sauce is gluten free.

    HFG tip

    • The water used to soften wrappers must be very warm but not so hot that it burns your fingers.
    • If you have trouble tying up the edges, simply fold the wrapper and tie the chive around it, like a Christmas present.
