Rice Paper Rolls with Quinoa and Pistachio Recipe

Makes 12

Ingredients:

½ cup tricolour grain quinoa

1½ cups water

2 green shallots, finely sliced

⅓ cup pistachios, coarsely 
chopped

2 medium green chilies, seeds 
removed and finely chopped

100g green beans, trimmed 
and finely sliced

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

12 rice paper sheets (22cm)

2 firm-ripe avocados, sliced 
into half moons

1 cup coriander leaves

½ cup mint leaves

50g snow pea sprouts or 
snow pea tendrils

Chilli Ginger Dipping Sauces

3 tbsp chilli jam

1 tbsp hoisin sauce

2½ tbsp fish sauce

1½ tbsp lime juice

3 tsp soy sauce

2 tsp brown sugar

2 tsp finely fresh grated ginger

Method:

To make the dipping sauce, combine ingredients in a small bowl.

Bring quinoa and water to the 
boil in a small saucepan. Simmer gently for 10 minutes or until tender. Rinse under cold water. Drain. Place 
in a large bowl.

Add shallots, pistachios, chillies and beans.

Slice asparagus into halves or quarters lengthways, depending on thickness.

Slice in half widthways. Place in a heatproof dish. Pour over boiling water. Rinse under cold water. Drain well.

Dip one sheet of rice paper into water. Place on a clean tea towel.
Top with avocado, herbs, asparagus and sprouts. Spoon over 2 tablespoons quinoa mixture. Fold in one end of rice paper over the filling. This will 
be the bottom of the roll. Then firmly roll up from one side, leaving the 
top of the roll open.

Repeat with remaining sheets. Serve with 
dipping sauce.
