Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Shred the BBQ chicken into thin strips.
Slice the mango into thin strips.
Wash and dry the coriander leaves.
Tear or cut the lettuce into small pieces.
Thinly slice the cucumber into matchsticks.
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and let them cool.
Fill a shallow bowl or plate with warm water.
Dip one rice paper sheet into the water for 5-10 seconds, until it softens but remains pliable.
Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean, damp surface like a cutting board or kitchen towel.
Place a small amount of lettuce, vermicelli noodles, chicken, mango, cucumber, and coriander in the center of the rice paper.
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom upwards, like a burrito.
Do not over-soak the rice paper, as it can tear easily. Just dip it until it becomes pliable.
Prepare all your ingredients before starting to assemble the rolls for a smoother process.
You can customize the filling by adding other vegetables or proteins of your choice.
Serve the rolls immediately for the best texture, as the rice paper can dry out over time.
Can I use a different protein instead of BBQ chicken?

How do I store leftover rice paper rolls?
Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, but it's best to make them no more than a few hours in advance to prevent the rice paper from drying out.
What can I use instead of sweet chili sauce for dipping?
You can use peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, or a soy sauce-based dip as alternatives.
Are these rolls gluten-free?
