Method
- Mix together the fish sauce, sweet chilli sauce, corriander leaves and lime juice in a shallow bowl.
- Cut cucumber, capsicum and carrot into long thin strips. Cut avocado into half, then into quarters. Cut each quarter in four pieces. Place cucumber and avocado into the fish sauce mix and leave to marinade whilst preparing the rolls. If using chicken, also add it to the fish sauce mix.
- Soak 1 sheet of rice paper in warm water. Once softened (about 1 minute) remove from the water and place flat on a tea towel. (Alternatively dip each sheet in cold water and lay out on the bench. By the time you roll them, they should have softened).
- Place 2-3 coriander leaves, carrot, cucumber, capsicum and avocado in the middle top-half of the rice paper. Fold the bottom half of the rice paper up to make an envelope around the filling. Fold in one side of the envelope and roll up tightly.
