Vegetable rice paper rolls are the ultimate light, fresh and healthy dinner (especially during the warmer months). You can mix up the vegetables depending on what you have on hand, as well as what is seasonally available. We find that pre made vegetable rice paper rolls found in supermarkets are often lacking in flavour and are filled with rice noodles so not overly nutritious. These ones on the other hand, are packed with flavour (the sweet-chilli dipping sauce is something else) and absolutely loaded with nutrients!
