MAKES 6 // COOKING TIME 40 min
INGREDIENTS
For the spring rolls
6 round rice-paper wrappers
4 spring onions, sliced
2 mangoes, cored, peeled, and julienned
2 jalapeños, seeded and julienned
1 red pepper, seeded and julienned
For the dipping sauce
2 avocados, peeled and diced
½ cup coriander
⅓ cup lime juice
⅓ cup water
½ tbsp salt
METHOD
For the spring rolls
1. Fill a shallow dish with warm water to dip the rice paper in. Fold a clean tea towel in half and place it next to the dish. Place your prepared fillings within easy reach.
2. Place a wrapper in the water for about 20 seconds, until it is pliable but not too floppy. Lay it out on the towel.
3. Arrange sliced spring onion, mango, jalapeño and red pepper in a row down the centre of the wrapper. Fold over 1 long side to enclose the filling; then fold over the short sides. Roll up the wrapper, stretching the other long side around the roll to seal it. Dab with a little more water, if needed. Repeat with the other rice-paper wrappers.
For the dipping sauce
1. Place the avocado, coriander, lime juice, water and salt in a blender. Blend to a purée.
2. Transfer to a small serving bowl. If you won’t be serving the sauce immediately, cover it with cling film and press the plastic against the surface to prevent it oxidising and turning brown.
