This recipe is fantastic for kids. My good friend who is a fabulous cook gave me this idea and I have used it ever since. My children love these fresh wraps and you can change the ingredients so easily to suit certain taste buds. You can serve these with a lovely fried rice or just on their own. My kids love helping with the production line of these wraps and they enjoy eating them even more.
Ingredients
1 packet of rice paper wraps (from the asian section of the supermarket)
1 ripe avocado
1 red capsicum
1 cucumber
1 carrot
1 packet of marinated tofu or 1/4 barbequed chicken, skin off.
Cut all your indredients to size (about 10cm long and 1-2cm wide)
The thinner you make your pieces of vegetables the more you can fit in the wrap and get your little darlings to eat!!
Have a bowl of warm to med hot water and dip one sheet of rice paper and leave for a few seconds. Place on a flat surface and place your ingredients across the middle of the wrap. Fold the closest edge to you over the vegetables and meat, bring each side in then wrap firmly. Repeat this process until you have the desired amount.
Of course you can use whatever vegetables you like. I love snow peas and thin slivers of egg as well. You can use a lovely dipping sauce to add extra flavour, our preferred ones being sweet chilli or sweet n sour.
You can also make these ahead of time and keep in an airtight container in the fridge. Have fun and enjoy!!
