Notes

Tip
A great kid-friendly recipe, if you have small non-knife-wielding kids, prepare all the ingredients for them and let them roll up, roll up!
Tip
We two adults managed to polish off all 10 between us, so maybe double the recipe if you have a hungry horde to feed.
Tip
Hoisin sauce is quite a strong flavour.
Variation
You could bulk these up with some thin rice noodles (stick) and vary the filling with prawns, cooked beef or bean sprouts.
Variation
Substitute Hoisin sauce with a bought Rice Paper roll dipping sauce or sweet chilli sauce if you prefer.
