30 Mar Fresh & flavourful vietnamese rolls
These lovely snacks are known as Vietnamese rolls in most places (or cold rolls if you’re from South Australia!) and are a simple and delicious meal to make when you feel like mixing up your weekly dinner menu. The best thing about them is you can tailor them to your own taste by adding whatever veggies, salad and meat you like. Try capsicum, cucumber and prawns with a squeeze of lime and satay sauce for dipping, or go for pork mince with carrot and coriander and sweet chilli sauce to dip.
