Chicken Rice Paper Rolls & Honeyed Sriracha Dip
I'm a sucker for spicy food and these chicken rice paper rolls taste amazing with my honeyed Sriracha dip. These little rolls are perfect for packing into a lunch box too or sharing on a picnic when the days get warmer.
They were inspired by similar rolls I had at a Chinese restaurant one day during Dim Sum service. The staff brought around little menus of dumplings, buns and rolls and as the ladies quietly pushed carts filled with overflowing steamer baskets of neat food parcels, you took what you wanted from the tray and ate until you were full. We tried lots of dumplings and buns and rice paper rolls, too, and it's been an experience that's stayed with me.
After buying the rice paper to make lemon and thyme paper, I needed to find a use for the rest of it and immediately thought of the fiery rolls I had at Dim Sum. I'm sure the sauce that I was served was your bog standard sweet chilli sauce, but since I have recently fallen in love with Sriracha and have always been in love with anything honeyed (proof, further proof, even more proof), I figured combining them would be nice. And oh. my. nom. it is fantastic.

For the chicken rice paper rolls
thinly sliced cooked chicken breast
fresh coriander
carrots, cut into matchsticks
frozen peas, cooked
rice paper sheets
For the honeyed Sriracha dip
1 part honey
1 part Sriracha
**Notes**
If you're partial to a bit more sweet than spice, add more honey than the recipe calls for. And if you're more of a chilli head than I am, add more Sriracha.
I've not given any measurements for this recipe because it depends entirely on the amount you want to make and how plump you want your rolls.
Instructions:
Chicken Rice Paper Rolls & Honeyed Sriracha Dip
Steam the chicken, peas, carrots in the microwave until tender and warmed through.
Dip each piece of rice paper into a warm water bath for about 20 seconds.
Pat dry between sheets of paper towels.
Place on a clean work surface and arrange the chicken, coriander and vegetables in the center.
Fold up the bottom half and roll to the left.
Fold down the top half and continue to roll until all the rice paper is used.
Repeat with each roll.
Whisk together the honey and Sriracha and serve with the rolls.
