Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken thighs
- 1 pack rice paper sheets
- 1 handful rice vermicelli
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, cut into sticks
- 1 stem spring onion, grated
- Fresh coriander leaves, a handful, chopped
- Sweet chili sauce, plus extra for dipping
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Pour about ¼ cup sweet chili sauce over 2 boneless chicken thighs and let them hang out for at least an hour.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Pan-fry the marinated thighs for around 15 minutes on each side until they’re cooked through and slightly sticky.
- Let them rest a minute, then slice into strips about 5 cm long and 1 cm thick.
- Toss grated carrot, grated spring onion, fresh chopped coriander, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil together in a bowl.
- Peel the avocado and cut it into neat slices.
- Slice ½ cucumber into long sticks about 5 cm long and ½ cm thick.
- Add a handful of rice vermicelli to a bowl, pour boiling water over until covered, place a lid on top, and leave for 5 minutes.
- Drain, fluff with a fork, and stir in 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce for extra flavor.
- Fill a wide shallow bowl or plate with hot water. Dip two rice paper sheets together (this trick makes them stronger) for about 20 seconds or until soft and bendy.
- Lay the softened sheets on a clean tea towel.
- Add a small pinch of vermicelli, two chicken strips, a pinch of your carrot mixture, two cucumber sticks, and two avocado sticks.
- Fold the right side over the filling, then the left, and then fold the bottom up and roll forward like a burrito.
- Make as many as you like and serve with extra sweet chili sauce for dipping and a few extra slices of carrot and cucumber on the side.
