Mini's Chicken and Vegetables in Rice Paper Wraps

Mini (our helper) is a good cook. When she is not doing any housework she would just read a book, a cooking book that is. I never recall any complains on her cooking, she is a natural. She asked me one day if I’d like to eat a rice paper wraps with vegetables. I said yes recalling the day I first tried rice paper wrapped with vegetables. A nice couple invited us for a dinner in their home and prepared us different vegetables, marinated chicken and beef that will be wrapped in the rice paper. Oh! It was soooo good I enjoyed it very much.

The marinated chicken below is the left over from the marinated chicken we bought from the shop.

You Need:

Rice Paper
Carrots (julienned)
Cucumber (julienned)
Marinated Chicken
Mint leaf/Coriander
Lettuce

Dipping sauce:

Hoisin sauce
Water
Peanut (chopped)
Garlic
Chili

1. Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Allow the sauce to stand for 30 minutes so that the flavors can infuse. Serve at room temperature. I asked Mini about the extra measurements of the dipping sauce but she doesn’t know. She just said put the ingredients together and keep adjusting the taste.
2. In a large bowl filled with warm water, soak 1 rice paper wrapper for about 20 seconds or until soft. Lay wrapper out on a tea towel to absorb excess water. Transfer wrapper to a flat surface.
3. About 1/3 from the bottom of the wrapper, create a 3-inch long row by placing some mint or cilantro leaves followed by some lettuce, carrot, cucumber and chicken.
4. Carefully fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper over the vegetables. Turn in the sides and continue rolling up from the bottom.
5. Serve with the dipping sauce.
