Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls




Ingredients 

You can really use any fillings you like but here is a few ideas

4 Wombok leaves 
1 packet Vermicelli Noodles
1 handful Bean Shoots (I use canned if out of fresh)
1 Cucumber
1 Spring onion
250 grams of Prawns or Cooked Chicken or Beef Strips (Any of the three, or you can mix them up and have a variety) if vegetarian obviously disregard this ingredient
1 Tomato (optional)
1 bunch of Coriander
1 packet Rice Paper 
Dipping Sauce see recipe below

Let's get Cooking 

Prepare vegetables, wash wombok cut into strips, wash slice cucumber into long thin strips, wash shoots, deseed and dice tomato, wash coriander, and slice onion finely set aside.
Place Vermicelli noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes, rinse & set aside
To save time you can buy buy ready cooked prawns; peeled and de-vein, slice down the middle, set aside. If not peel, de-vein and slice
Can buy a ready cooked chicken and rip into shreds, or cut chicken into strips, marinade with oyster sauce, soya sauce, garlic, honey, salt & pepper. Quickly fry for a few minutes and set aside. You can follow same method if prefer beef, fry with butter rather than oil
Boil full kettle of water, pour into large bowl, dip one rice paper into water so is wet all over and place rice paper flat onto a wet new chucks cloth or clean wet tea towel.
At one end put cucumber, wombok, tomato, shoots, coriander, noodles and meat of choice, roll over once, fold in ends and roll remaining till rice paper roll forms a cylinder shape. 
There you have your first rice paper roll. mix it up with the veggies/salad add any other favourite veggies you may like, can add more than one meat as well. great for entrees and starters, even for lunch.

When living in small places like a yacht we need to be inventive when it comes to our storage solutions. On many occasions we need to store goods that will last us for many months while we cruise remote areas. Yachts have very awkward storage shapes and sizes that don't ever seem to be square.

Grandson Kristian lands his first Mackerel The Spanish mackerel the Spotted mackerel and the School mackerel are probably the most popular of the mackerel species in Australia and a very popular sport fish.   The Spanish mackerel can be mistaken for wahoo, but can be distinguished by the shorter dorsal fin with less (15-18) dorsal spines and the external bone and upper jaw which both extend to just behind the eye. Smaller Spanish mackerel may also be confused for other mackerel species such as slimy mackerel. They are blue to grey on their dorsal side (back) with many narrow vertical bands along their sides and a grey-silver colour on their belly. The Spotted Mackerel is easily identified with four rows of large black spots over its sides. The School mackerel is the smallest of mackerel caught along the coast. They have two or three rows of large dark blotches, with a white patch on the dorsal fin. They are great fighters with excessive speeds in the water.
