1

Peel the carrot and chop it into

fine matchsticks – a mandolin is

ideal for this. Chop the cucumber into

matchsticks, and the peeled, de-stoned

avocado into thin strips. Wash the mint.

2

Soak the rice paper wraps in cold

water for 1–2 minutes, or according to

the packet instructions.

3

One by one, build the wraps. Arrange

the vegetables neatly in the centre

of the rice paper, with 2 mint leaves (or

more, to taste) in each, and the sprouts

on top of the other vegetables.

4

Roll up, then sprinkle with sesame

seeds and enjoy with your favourite

dipping sauce.

Rice paper rolls

with alfalfa

sprouts

Perfect paired with a peanut

dipping sauce, these light,

crispy rolls are fresh, zingy

and bursting with colour.

The alfalfa sprouts add a

wonderful crunch, and are

highly nutritious too
