Chef tips
To keep the rice paper from tearing, dip each sheet in lukewarm water for just a few seconds until slightly softened. Let the filling cool before rolling to keep the delicate wraps intact. For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for sautéed tofu cubes. You can also add fresh mango or avocado slices for a refreshing sweetness that kids absolutely love.
