TIPS:
- Prepping Vegetables: For best results, cut the broccoli and carrot into small pieces, ensuring they are tender but still retain a slight crunch after cooking.
- Chicken Breast: Cut the chicken breast into thin strips for even cooking and easy incorporation into the rolls.
- Wok Cooking: Use a wok or a large skillet for sautéing the chicken and vegetables. The high sides of the wok allow for easy mixing without spilling.
- Rice Pasta Sheets: Hydrate the rice pasta sheets according to the package instructions. Handling them gently prevents tearing.
- Roll Assembly: Distribute the filling evenly among the rice paper sheets, then fold and roll tightly to form the rolls.
- Air Fryer Layering: When air frying, ensure that the rolls do not touch each other to allow for even air circulation and crispiness.
- Two-Step Air Frying: If the rolls don’t fit in a single layer, you can air fry them in two batches. The second batch can be reheated and crisped together.
- Accompaniments: Pair these rice paper rolls with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce or hoisin-peanut sauce.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust the vegetable fillings based on your preferences or what’s available. The goal is to achieve a balance of flavors and textures.
