In just 30 minutes, you'll score serious cooking cudos for these Vietnamese rice paper rolls that are surprisingly easy to make

Ingredients

Fresh lemongrass

2 piece(s), pale section only, finely chopped

Garlic

1 clove(s), crushed

Fresh coriander

1 tbs, root only, chopped

Caster sugar

1 tsp

Lime juice

1 tbs

Soy sauce

1 tbs, (dark)

Fish sauce

1 tbs

Lean pork fillet

385 g, fat trimmed, thinly sliced, (buy 480g)

Grapeseed oil

2 tsp

Cellophane noodles

200 g

Rice paper roll wrappers

180 g, (8x16cm)

Carrot(s)

2 medium, cut into matchsticks

Lebanese cucumber

2 medium, cut into matchsticks

Green shallot(s)

2 individual, cut into 10cm lengths

Fresh coriander

½ cup(s), leaves

Hoisin sauce

60 ml

Instructions

  1. Place lemongrass, garlic and coriander root in the bowl of a mortar and pestle and pound to a smooth paste. Add sugar, juice and soy and fish sauces and mix to combine. Reserve 1 tablespoon mixture. Transfer remaining mixture to a medium bowl. Add pork and toss to coat.
  2. Heat a wok over high heat. Add oil and heat for 30 seconds. Stir-fry pork, in batches, for 3–4 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
  3. Prepare noodles following packet instructions or until just tender. Drain. Place in a large bowl. Add carrot, cucumber, shallots, coriander leaves and reserved lemongrass mixture and toss to combine.
  4. Working with 1 sheet at a time, soak rice paper in a medium bowl of hot water for 10–20 seconds or until just softened. Place on a clean kitchen cloth to absorb excess water. Place one-twelfth of the noodle mixture in the centre of the sheet. Top with one-twelfth of the pork.
  5. Fold over 2 opposite edges of rice paper, then roll to enclose filling. Place roll on a serving plate and cover with a slightly damp cloth to stop it drying out. Repeat with remaining rice paper, noodle mixture and pork to make 12 rolls. Combine hoisin sauce and 1 tablespoon cold water in a small serving bowl. Serve dipping sauce with rice paper rolls.
