#PerfectFoodle Recipes - Mango Chilli Rice Paper rolls (with illustrated guide to rolling!)

Anyone who has followed my culinary capers for any significant amount of time will have clued in to my love for Rice Paper rolls. They are so easy to do, allow for advance preparation, last perfectly wrapped in clingfilm and travel very well. Also they can be eaten with the fingers. Coming up with an innovative stuffing was another challenge but in the end the textures of the prawn smothered in spicy sweet mango reduction spiked with chillies and punched up with green onions works perfectly.

Makes 10 rolls, time 40 mins

Ingredients
250g Prawns, cleaned and deveined
1 tsp mustard

2-4 Thai Red Chilli, sliced
