    UPDATED 6/2/2018. Rice paper rolls and I go way back. They are one of my favourite ways to pop some extra yum in the lunchbox and I love the fact that they are so easy to make. I know some people struggle with rolling them, so I did a quick video to help you through it. This post has been updated with some new pics as a result as well. Seriously, there's a lot to love about rice paper rolls!RICE PAPER ROLLS IN A LUNCHBOX

    So. Some nights my meal planning and pre prep fails me. And I take out something that has lost its label and assume it will be enough for all 4 Kidgredients. Tonight my planning failed me. There was enough chicken in my package for the two mini kidredgients and maybe a nibble from a big kidgredient. PLAN B? Yep, there wasn't one.

    rice paper rolls in a lunchbox

    Until I remembered I had some rice paper rolls, some bifun noodles and veggies. Plus a few slices of smoked salmon.

    The great thing about this recipe is getting the kids involved and letting them spiralise the veggies and choose what makes it into their rolls. That means....they get eaten! Master 2 may have stolen a few slices of smoked salmon here and there whilst we were making them, but that's all part and parcel of cooking with kids. I'd rather him stealing salmon than chocolate.

    You want the veggies about the same thickness as the noodles so it all sort merges together in the rolls. Give the kiddies a bit of help with wrapping the rice paper rolls or they end up with a pile of noodles and a rice paper! (Trust me....we've been there...and nobody likes a collapsed rice paper roll).
