Rice paper rolls

Nigel Slater - Kitchen - summer rolls:
Summer herb rolls
Cucumber, carrot, spring onion, rice noodles, mint, basil, chives, coriander, ponzu, rice vinegar, lime, hot chilli sauce, spring roll wrappers.

- Slice half a cucumber in half lengthways, scrape out its seeds with a teaspoon then cut the flesh into matchsticks.
Very finely slice a mild, long red chilli, then cut a medium sized carrot into small matchstick style pieces.
Shred a spring onion.
- Pour a kettle of boiling water over a 50g glass noodles and let them soak for a few minutes.
Moisten 2 large summer roll wrappers in warm water, lay them on a work surface then divide the shredded vegetables between them, tucking 6 or 7 basil, mint and coriander leaves into each one as you go.
Lay 4 slim chives onto each one then wrap the vegetables up into parcels.
Eat them, cut into two, with the dip below.
- Make a dip for the summer rolls by mixing together a tablespoon of ponzu sauce, the juice of half a lime, a teaspoon of rice vinegar and teaspoon of hot chilli sauce.

Cooked chicken strips (as above)
Metod:
Chicken
1. Combine all marinade ingredients and add chicken strips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook in a hot pan for around 10 mins until chicken is cooked. Set aside to cool while you prepare the sauce and vegies.
Dipping sauce
Combine all the ingredients, stirring until sugar dissolves.
Rolls
1. Place all the fresh ingredients except mint and coriander in a large bowl. Add two tablespoons of sauce mixture and toss to combine.
2. Soak one rice paper in a large, shallow dish filled with lukewarm water for 30 seconds until soft and pliable.
3. Remove rice paper and lay flat on a chopping board or clean surface. Pat dry with a clean tea towel or paper towel.
4. Take a small bunch of vegetable mixture and lay out in the centre of the paper. Top with a couple of pieces of chicken and fresh herbs. Roll to enclose filling and ends.
5. Repeat with remaining rolls.
Serve the rolls sliced in half with dipping sauce on the side.

To prepare rolls for travel, wrap in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container to prevent the rice paper drying out. If using chicken, be sure to refrigerate rolls until ready to eat.
