Quick Hoisin Chicken In Rice Paper Rolls

This dish is a fun way to share a meal. It’s not only quick to prepare but it’s a light and healthy meal that the whole family will enjoy.

This dish can be substituted with pork, prawns, beef or mix it up but the key is a balance in ingredients (protein, carbohydrate and vegetable) and a balance in flavour and texture (crunchy, salty, sweet and sour)  all in one.

Happy eating with STOMPAPPAREL ☺
