• Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
• Serve with peanut hoisin dipping sauce.

• remove it from the water and place on a clean tea towel. Spoon some of the mixture onto the rice paper.
• Fold in the bottom first, then the sides, and roll to form a cigar shape.
• Continue the same with the rest of the rolls.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Brush a large baking pan with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and set aside.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger and saute, 1 to 2 minutes. Add cooked chicken, cabbage, carrot, soy sauce, and dry garlic sauce. Cook and stir until vegetables are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in cooked rice. Keep on low heat while preparing the rice papers.
• Wet a cloth with warm water and place one rice paper sheet inside. Wrap completely and let soften, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture to the middle of the rice paper sheet. Fold both ends in and roll from one side to the other. Place wrapped roll onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat the wetting, filling, and wrapping process to make remaining rice paper rolls. Brush rolls with remaining vegetable oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then turn over to bake for an additional 10 minutes.

RAINBOW RICE PAPER ROLLS

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in boiling water from the kettle, following pack instructions. Drain and rinse under cold running water to cool, then toss in a little sesame oil to stop them sticking together.
• Next, make the dipping sauce by mixing all the ingredients together. Set aside.
• Fill a wide, shallow dish a few centimetres deep with warm water. Working with one rice paper wrap at a time, soak it for a few seconds until it's flexible, then lay it on a chopping board. Scatter some of the herbs down the centre, then top with a couple of prawns or a little bit of chicken, then some veg pieces and mango, and a small bundle of noodles. Try to keep the fillings in the centre, and don't overfill. Tuck the ends of the wrap over the ingredients to slightly enclose them, then roll up from the sides, keeping everything as tight as you can. Put the finished rolls on a plate covered with a damp sheet of kitchen paper until you're finished assembling all the rolls. Will keep in the fridge for up to 24 hrs. Serve with the sesame dipping sauce.
