We had such a hot day today that I couldn`t face cooking. Hmm, what could we throw together that was healthy, quick and easy? Of course, our summer fave - Vietnamese cold rolls.
We already had a BBQ chicken in the fridge and after rummaging through the crisper, we found what was needed - carrot, cucumber, capsicum, and snowpeas. I picked some corriander and mint from the garden while I soaked some rice vermicelli noodles to soften.The next bit was a bit trickier - getting my daughter to thinly slice it all up! She did a great job slicing everything to the same size.
We always keep some rice paper wrappers in the cupboard, and all you have to do is soak them one
at a time in a bowl of hot water to soften them. Place on a damp tea towel and carefully pile up your salads in a neat little row in the middle, with a sprinkle of vermicelli, coriander and mint on top, then fold and wrap tightly - just like a little parcel. We used a Thai sweet dressing and added some chilli sauce for dipping...and voila, dinner is ready .
And of course we had plenty left over for lunch the next day. What`s your favorite too hot to cook meal
