It certainly is not easy to get children excited about eating vegetales. But this is where colourful food can come handy. These Rainbow Rice Paper Rolls, made with fresh vegetables, soft noodles and herbs, all wrapped in delicate rice paper. With their bright colours and crunchy filling, rainbow rice paper rolls make a fun addition to a children's day celebration. The best part is that they do not require deep-frying or complicated cooking, and can be easily prepared at home.
Make Chidlren’s Day Special Rice Paper Rolls with ingredients such as carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, bell peppers and lettuce to create a rainbow of colours in every roll. Rice noodles add a little substance, while mint and coriander bring freshness. Children can also help wash the vegetables, arrange the fillings and roll their own combinations with some help from an adult. This makes the preparation a fun kitchen activity rather than just another meal.
Rice paper rolls are best served fresh with a simple dipping sauce. You can also serve with mild peanut sauce or sweet chilli dip to make it more appealing, depending on children's preferences and any food allergies. Whether you serve this as an after-school snack, party starter or part of a festive lunch, these rolls offer a colourful way to include vegetables in a children's day special menu.
