A variation on Vietnamese Inspired Summer Rolls, these Chinese style rice rolls are giving such takeaway vibes for a fraction of the calories.

Ingredients
- 60 grams uncooked rice
- 6 rice paper sheets
- 250 grams mushrooms
- 3 spring onions
- 2 sweet peppers
- 2 chunky chilli peppers (the thin bird eye ones will be too spicy here, thing jalapeño style)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Salt & Pepper seasoning
- 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice
Instructions
- Put your rice in a pan, cover with water, add a lid & bring to the boil, simmer until cooked.
- Slice your chicken into thin strips, coat in the salt & pepper seasoning & dry fry on high until cooked through.
- Slice your mushrooms & peppers, add these to a hot pan with your soy sauce & 5 spice seasoning*. If it dries out add a little bit of water.
- Fill a bowl with water, quickly dip your rice paper to wet it, don't soak it or it'll be really hard to work with, it'll soften as it sits. I like to lay three out at a time on a clean counter.
- Slice your spring onions into thin strips.
- Layer your rice, sticky mushrooms & peppers, chicken & spring onions onto the paper. Roll into a spring roll shape by pulling the top over the filling & using it to pull the filling back into a tight roll. Tuck the sides up & over, they should stick to the rice paper, then tightly roll to finish. If the paper is too firm don't add more water, just wait another minute or two.
- You can enjoy these as they are, or if you want them crispy you can fry them in a dry pan, or with some cooking spray. I've found they stick in the air frier & break when you try to take them out.
Plate up & enjoy!
Notes
*If you have fish sauce & rice wine vinegar, add a teaspoon of each to the veggies, it gives great flavour & a slightly sticky texture, you could also add a teaspoon of brown sugar for a stickier texture.
