Vietnamese Chicken Spring Roll

1 Cut the half onion in half.

2 Smash the ginger with the side of a knife, allowing the flesh of the ginger to
be exposed.

3 Place the bone in chicken breast, onion pieces and the smashed ginger in a pot.

4 Cover with water.

5 Bring to a boil over a high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer.

6 Cook the chicken to 165°

7 Remove the chicken from the water and cool in the refrigerator.

8 Once cooled, remove the bones and skin and discard.

9 Shred the chicken into 2" – 3" pieces about ¼" – ½".

Reserve to add to the salad mix.

10 Follow Recipe to make Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette Great as a Salad Dressing and
Marinade too!

11 Cook the bean thread noodles according to the package.

Generally I have found it takes about 5-6 minutes.

12 Drain the noodles and shock or rinse in cold water to cool.

13 Drain the noodles well again.

14 Toss with the sesame oil.

15 Cut the noodles into 3" segments.

Pile the noodles on a cutting board and cut the pile in a 3"x3"quadrants.

This will give the noodles a rough cut to allow to fit in the rolls. Reserve for
assembly.

16 Cut the vegetables, julienne is specified because it is thin and in 1-2"
segments.

This will help to ensure that the vegetables won't pierce the rice paper.

Watch the video on the Vietnamese Grilled Shrimp Recipe. I show what to do if
you have a blow out or rip in the paper when rolling.

17 In a bowl, combine the vegetables and bean thread noodles.

18 Add the Shredded Chicken.

19 Add the Vinaigrette and toss to coat well.

20 Set aside.

21 Tear lettuce into pieces approximately 3" pieces.

22 Set aside.

23 Your station should be set up with three towels soaked in hot water and rung
out.

24 You should have a bowl of hot water large enough to dunk the rice paper set to
one side.

25 Lay out one of the damp towels on the surface.

26 Dunk one sheet of rice paper in the hot water for approximately 5-10 seconds.

If your water is hot the rice paper should start to become pliable.

Don't dunk too long as the rice paper will continue to soften in the hot damp
towels.

27 Place the rice paper flat on the first towel. Cover the rice paper with the
second damp towel.

28 Repeat the process in steps 4 & 5 for the second rice paper.

(As you continue to dunk the rice paper the water will get colder. You may need
to soak longer or replace the cooling water with hotter water to get the rice
paper to the desired softness.)

29 Let the rice paper rest in the warm damp towels to continue to soften for
approximately a minute.

30 Peel the top towel back slowly.

The rice paper should be tacky to the touch. Hold the rice paper, if needed, to
keep the rice paper from sticking to the towel you are pulling away.

The rice paper should stay in place on the bottom towel as you pull away.

31 Place a lettuce leaf down on the rice paper about ⅓ of the way from the edge of
the rice paper closest to you.

32 Place ⅓ – ½ cup of the chicken, vegetable and noodle mix on top of the lettuce
leaf.

33 To roll, the process is similar to rolling a burrito.

Pull the rice paper closest to you up over the top of the filling.

Tuck in the chicken, vegetable and noodle filling under the top of the rice
paper as you bring the rice paper over the top.

34 Fold in each side of the rice paper toward the middle. One side at at time, at
the same time you are holding the rice paper on top to keep in place.

35 As you continue to roll forward with the top of the roll, gently pull back
toward you as you roll.

36 As you near the end of the rice paper continue to pull gently as you roll.

This will help to keep the roll tight.

This is important because if you are going to cut the rolls it will help to keep
the filling compact.

37 Repeat the processes above to dunk more rice paper and assemble the rolls.

38 Serve with Sweet Chili Sauce and Peanut Sauce
