Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls always a hit!!
Even the hardest of hard-core carnivores munch these down as enthusiastically as they would a rack of ribs.

They truly are that good.
Vietnamese food is my idea of the ultimate accidently healthy food.
Sure, there are a handful of deep fried recipes.
Dressings and sauces are refreshingly light and devoid of oil, unlike basically every Western dressing!
To dispel of that myth, let me tell you I am not into fiddly.
Thats why youll never see fancy decorated cakes on my blog.
I simply dont have the patience or co-ordination for fiddly dishes sweet or savoury.
I actually posted this recipe way back when I started my blog.
Serving idea: DIY spread!
I like making these with bean sprouts and vermicelli noodles (other filling suggestions in the recipe notes).
It is much easier to handle when rolling.
The downside is that the ends are a touch chewy, because theres triple / quadruple layers.
But its not tough chewy, not in the least bit.
Its just chewy compared to how soft and fragile a single layer of rice paper is.
It doesnt deter me at all.
My mother noticed it, but it didnt stop her from hoeing down 4 of these in minutes.
Never fails to amazes me that a woman of a certain age can consume so much so quickly.
Peanut Dipping Sauce for Rice Paper Rolls
This peanut sauce is everything!!
This is a Vietnamese Peanut Dipping Sauce.
With water, the sauce is darker).
and a touch of chilli if you want (which I love).
So…..what do you think?
Have I convinced you to try your hand at becoming a Rice Paper Roll Master??
