Prep time: 30 minServes: 4

Pairs with

Fresh and light summer rolls want an equally fresh wine — sparkling or a crisp white that doesn't compete with the herbs' fragrance.

Ingredients

  • 12 rice paper wrappers
  • 200g thin rice noodles
  • 12 large prawns, cooked and halved (or tofu)
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • Spring onions
  • Fresh mint, coriander, Thai basil
  • Peanut sauce: 3 tbsp peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy, 1 tbsp lime, 1 tbsp sriracha, warm water

Method

  1. 11. Cook the rice noodles, rinse under cold water.
  2. 22. Soak a rice paper wrapper in warm water for 10 seconds until pliable.
  3. 33. Place on a damp board: lettuce, noodles, carrot, cucumber, herbs and prawns.
  4. 44. Fold in the sides and roll tightly — like a burrito.
  5. 55. Repeat with the rest.
  6. 66. Peanut sauce: Whisk all ingredients with warm water to desired consistency.
  7. 77. Serve the rolls with peanut sauce for dipping.
