Place a few of the noodles across the rice paper, about 3cm in from the edge. Top with a few prawns, mint leaves, snow pea sprouts and carrot. Fold over the bottom of the wrapper to enclose the filling. Fold in the sides and roll up firmly to enclose.
- Place on a plate and cover loosely with damp paper. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Serve with extra sweet chilli sauce and lime wedges.Tip: You can add any flavours you like. Swap the prawns for chicken or beef. Try adding carrot or avocado. Have fun with the flavours.
