Serves: 8

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 100g rice noodles
  • ½ x 300g pack oriental vegetable stir-fry, finely chopped
  • ½ x 120g pack cooked ham slices, diced
  • 1cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon Chinese five spice
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 4 sheets ready rolled filo pastry
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 limes, juice only
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chilli dipping sauce

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. In a large bowl, add the rice noodles, stir-fry vegetables, ham, ginger, garlic, five spice and soy sauce. Toss well to combine.
  2. Lay the sheets of filo on a work surface and cut in half. Spoon the noodle mixture along the short side of each piece of pastry, brush the long edges with oil, fold in and roll up (watch our video for some top tips on rolling).
  3. Brush with a little more oil, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and bake on a lined baking tray for 20-25 minutes, until golden.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the lime juice with the sweet chilli sauce and serve with the spring rolls for dipping.
