• Place 2 or 3 chicken strips down the center of the wrapper, leaving a 3cm margin at each end of the wrapper.
• Next add a layer of snow peas, lettuce, capsicum, carrot, and finally a light sprinkling of cashew nuts.
• Pull one side of the rice paper tightly over the filling, folding over the two ends to form something that looks like an envelope, and then roll over the remaining portion of wrapper to form the roll. If desired, cut in half diagonally.

Steps:

• Heat oil and fry onion with garlic for 1 minute. Add chicken, black pepper, lemon grass, fish sauce, sugar, curry and chili and stir fry for 4 minutes.
• Add chicken, black pepper, lemon grass, fish sauce, sugar, curry and chili pepper and stir fry 5 minutes.
• Add water and continue to stir fry an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is just about cooked through.
• Remove smashed Lemongrass.
• Add the coconut milk and simmer, stirring, until sauce it thickened.
• Serve over Asian noodles or steamed white rice.
• Garnish with sprinkled chopped nuts and the freshly chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• Firstly, mix the rice vinegar, water, caster sugar, salt and garlic in a large bowl and leave to sit.
• Soak the rice vermicelli in boiling water for about 10 minutes, until it is no longer hard (but not soggy!).
• Add the noodles, cabbage, carrot, coriander and spring onions to the dressing and mix well.
• Now set up your production line- get a flat bowl and fill it with hot water. Take a rice paper sheet and soak it in the water until it's soft- about 15 seconds.
• remove it from the water and place on a clean tea towel. Spoon some of the mixture onto the rice paper.
• Fold in the bottom first, then the sides, and roll to form a cigar shape.
• Continue the same with the rest of the rolls.
• These can be prepared well in advance and stored in the fridge under a wet tea towel- see the recipe description above for serving suggestions.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, dice the chicken into 1/4in pieces. Heat the groundnut oil in a wok over a high heat and stir-fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes, stirring all the time.
• Season with soy sauce and sprinkle with five spice powder before taking the chicken out of the wok and leaving on one side to cool.
• In a large bowl, mix the mushrooms, garlic, ginger, beansprouts, scallions, and sliced carrot. Add the cooled chicken and stir well to combine everything together.
• Place two spring roll wrappers on top of each other, and spoon two tablespoons of the chicken filling in the centre of the layered sheet.
• Mix the cornstarch with the water and use to brush over the wrapper edges - this helps stop the spring rolls from bursting open while frying. Fold each of the opposite corners in, over the filling, and roll the wrapper into a cigar shape.
• Deep fry the spring rolls in hot oil, over a medium heat, until golden brown - about 3-5 minutes. Drain on absorbent paper before serving with sweet chilli sauce.
