Ingredients:
1. 1/2 lb of minced chicken
2. 3 minced garlic cloves
3. ½ an onion peeled and chopped
4. 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
5. 1 handful of shredded coconut
6. 2 handfuls of chopped basil leaves
7. 2 teaspoons of fish sauce
8. 3 tablespoons of peanut oil
9. 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce
10. 1 package of round rice paper sheets
11. ½ a cup of sweet chili sauce
12. 2 teaspoons of soy sauce
Step 1
Pour the oil into a pan and cook the chopped garlic for 10 seconds and then add the minced chicken. Cook until chicken browns.
Step 2
Add the chopped onions and carrots, shredded coconut, fish sauce, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Cook until veggies are limp, unlike you.
Step 3
Place the spring roll filling in a separate bowl and allow to cool (the refrigerator is a good place for this). Prep a pan of heated water (tea temperature) on the stove and keep on a low simmer.
Step 4
Now comes the fun of rolling, especially for you stoners out there. Dip the dried rice paper into the pan of heated water. Place moist paper onto flat surface. Add a spoonful of the filling and a small dash of the chopped basil leaves. Roll up tightly and serve.
