Summary

Rice paper wrappers are very thin and make the lightest of wraps. they just need soaking in warm water and gentle handling. you can use any combination of vegetables, and soaked rice vermicelli noodles, if you wish. served cold, these can be made a few hours ahead.

Step 1

In nonstick skillet, cook chicken, onion and ginger over medium-high heat until chicken is no longer pink, stirring often to prevent clumping. Remove from heat. Stir in carrots and hoisin sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 2

Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in large bowl of hot water for 20 to 30 seconds or until softened. Gently shake off excess water and lay on damp tea towel. While filling one wrapper, soak another. Place one-twelfth of chicken mixture (about 2-1/2 tbsp/40 mL) in line about one-third from bottom of wrapper. Top with one-twelfth each cucumber and bean sprouts. Top with a few coriander leaves. Fold bottom edge of wrapper over filling; fold over side edges and roll up tightly to form roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
