NUTRITIONAL INFO:
These nutritional values are provided as a guide only and may be different depending on your ingredients and measurements.
- Dip the rice paper briefly - three to four seconds is enough for a soft, flexible texture that won’t tear.
- Roll on a slightly damp board or towel to prevent sticking and make the process smoother.
- Keep your fillings modest; overfilling makes rolling tricky and can cause the wrapper to split.
- Pat the veggies dry to avoid excess moisture and keep the rolls crisp.
- Add fresh herbs like mint or coriander for a bright, fragrant lift.
- Mix the peanut sauce slowly, adding water a little at a time until it reaches your perfect dipping consistency.
- Prep an assembly line to make rolling quick, easy and enjoyable.
- For meal prep, store the chicken and veggies separately and assemble just before eating for maximum freshness.
