I have many talents. Rolling rice paper rolls…not one of them.

And since I hate sucking at stuff, I came up with a non-faff alternative.

Oh hey there, rice paper roll in a bowl.

It’s kind of brilliant, when you think about it. Let me elaborate.

• All the yummy taste of a rice paper roll, but you literally can’t go wrong making this recipe.
• Legitimately, could be the most delicious 10-minute meal you ever eat.
• You can fit more in a bowl, than you ever could in a roll.
• Fully flexible. Adding your favourite rice paper roll ingredients, highly encouraged.
• Gluten, dairy and refined sugar free, without even trying, or compromising on taste. Cos, that’s how I [rice paper] roll.

The other thing I LOVE about these bowls. No actual cooking. They are literally the perfect summer dinner. Because delicious and filling without having to turn on a hot oven or stove. Amen.

If had to describe my rice paper roll in a bowl in 3 words it would be – Fresh.Crunchy.Yum. I rest my case.

I would love to hear what you put in your rice paper roll in a bowl. Let me know in the comments and we can compare notes.

Notes

• Cheat alert. Use a bag of prepared coleslaw mix instead of slicing the cabbage and grating the carrots separately. Who said cheaters never win?
• The easiest way to crush peanuts? Pop them in a paper bag and pound them with a meat tenderiser. Bonus points for doubling as a stress release.
