Ingredients
1) A selection of vegetables from the garden for example:
carrots, lettuce, small silverbeet or spinach leaves, beetroot
tops, cucumber, broccoli, cabbage.
2) A selection of herbs from the garden for example chives,
coriander, mint, Vietnamese mint, spring onions.
3) 100g vermicelli noodles
4) rice paper wrappers
What to do:
1. Put the noodles into a heatproof bowl and get an adult to
pour over boiling water. Leave to soak for 10 minutes.
2. Peel and grate the carrot.
3. Cut the leafy vegetables into thin ribbons.
4. Cut the broccoli into small pieces and cook in boiling water
for 3 minutes. Get an adult to tip the cooked broccoli into
a strainer.
5. Cut up the herbs into small pieces but don’t mince them up
too finely.
Making the rolls:
1. Fill a wide shallow container with warm water (a baking
dish is good for this). Put one rice paper wrapper in at a
time and leave for 30 seconds until soft.
2. Carefully lift and lay flat on a clean, damp tea towel.
3. Lay some vegetables and herbs along the middle of the
roll, leaving space to fold up the ends.
4. Fold up the ends then carefully roll the wrapper around
the filling.
5. Put the rolls on a tray not touching each other or they will

stick. Cover with a damp tea towel. Cut in half to serve.
