4
Place 2-3 prawn halves (pink side down) and avocado slices above the other fillings.

Whisk together all peanut sauce ingredients. Serve the rolls immediately with the sauce.

Tips, Variations and Storage

Tips: Don't over-soak the rice paper; it should still be slightly firm when you take it out of the water, as it continues to soften on the board. Variations: Substitute prawns with tofu or sliced pork. Add mango slices for a fruity twist. Storage: Best eaten immediately. If needed, wrap individual rolls in damp paper towels and store in an airtight container for up to 4 hours.
