[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES]

As soon as I saw this hack I knew I had found a lifelong dinner idea.

So basically it's Rice Paper rolls, but instead of using those flavourless rice noodles, you use spicy, tasty instant noodles.

A bought dipping sauce can be excellent but if you want to do a homemade peanut dipping sauce, read (and listen) on...

RECIPE

Before you start, you need to prepare some "good bits". I had cucumber and a red chilli. But you could also do avocado, cooked prawns, red capsicum, spring onion greens, sliced tofu, grated carrot, daikon, etc., and hopefully you have some coriander and/or mint handy.

You will also need some rice paper roll wrappers and a peanut dipping sauce.

INGREDIENTS
Rice paper wrappers

Mi Goreng Noodles

GOOD BITS:

red chilli, or red capsicum, sliced

sliced cucumber, sliced avocado, cooked prawns, grated carrot, grated daiko, herbs like mint and coriander, etc

DIPPING SAUCE

1/3 cup peanut butter

1 tbs fish sauce

1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce

juice of 1 lime

Prepare all your "good bits" and set aside.

Cook your Mi Goreng according to the packet instructions, draining well and being mindful not to go past the cook time (go under!). Season as per your taste but you can go hard here.

Soak a rice paper roll wrapper in warm water, one at a time. When it's lost all its snap, lay it out flat and fill it with a line of green (eg., thinly sliced cucumber, or thinly sliced avocado), alongside the green create a line of red (eg., red chilli, red capsicum), then load up with noodles, herbs and whatever other veg you are including. Roll up doing the sides before you finish the rolling.

Make the dipping sauce by combining all the ingredients, and loosening the whole mixture with water, soy or coconut milk. 

Serve at least 3 per person, you may need more!
