LUNCH- Rice paper wraps

So on sunday as we were in the middle of cleaning and emptying our stuff in the new flat and didn't have much time for lunch, we decided to make some quick rice paper wraps. These Vietnamese wraps are so quick and easy that I always keep some in the cupboard, and the beauty is that you can fill them with whatever you have at hand.
Usually we stuff them with salad and veggies, as they are much more fun to eat than a salad.

This time I filled them with:
-peppers
-carrots
-beansprouts
-avocado
-mushrooms

I cut all the ingredients into fine stripes, put them at hand's reach and then got a bowl of warm water and the wraps, they are dehydrated so you submerge them in the water for 30 seconds or so, then place them on a cutting board or a clean surface, and fill them with your ingredients, then roll up and you're done! Make sure not to fill them too much and once you're halfway through the rolling fold in the sides.

They tend to be a bit bland on their own so have something to dip them in; we had some Srirarcha sauce as well as some soy sauce to which I added garlic, ginger,honey and sesame oil.

We sat down outside and everything was perfect, sunny, warm day, lovely food and the cat throwing up... yes...she decided to puke in front of us just as we were about to eat, which was just lovely...But other than that it was a nice meal!
