Directions

Fit the Kenwood Chef Sense food processor bowl with the shredding blade. Run the carrots through the feeder chute then remove to a bowl. Repeat with the celery, cucumber and lettuce.
Dip one sheet of rice paper into a bowl of warm-hot water, removing it when soft (don't let it get too soft or it will disintegrate). Place on a damp tea towel.
Place a coriander and a mint leaf on the rice paper then some carrot, cucumber, celery, lettuce, spring onion and bean sprouts. (Don't overfill). Top with a little meat or a prawn. Turn in the sides and roll up into a cigar shape.
Place on a serving plate with a small bowl of the dipping sauce (see recipe right) and the peanuts, then repeat the process to make more rolls. These rolls will keep for a few hours in the fridge. Cover well with damp kitchen paper and plastic wrap to stop them drying out. Remember to place them slightly apart to prevent sticking.
Dipping sauce: Place all the ingredients in the food processor bowl of the Kenwood Chef Sense with fitted blade and process until you have a sauce. Pour into a clean jar with a tightfitting lid and shake well before using. Keep refrigerated.
