Ingredients for Brown Rice Paper Rolls with Chicken Breast and Vegetables For 4 people
Brown rice paper 10 pieces Chicken breast 200 gr Chicken eggs 3 pieces Avocado 1/2 fruit Purple cabbage 1/3 piece Cucumber 1 piece Carrot 1 piece Bell pepper 1/2 fruit (color depending on preference) Chives 1 bunch (small) Tamarind juice 3 tablespoons Soy sauce 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter 2 tablespoons Peanuts 1 tablespoon (roasted) Salt and pepper 1/2 teaspoon
How to Choose Good Ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- Choose a breast piece with white skin as this indicates it is a fully grown chicken, which will result in firmer, tastier meat.
- When pressing your hand on the piece of meat, it should have good elasticity and not be mushy.
- Avoid choosing a breast piece with many white streaks; the more streaks there are, the less fat content, making it harder for the meat to absorb seasonings during cooking.
How to choose fresh and delicious bell peppers
- To choose good bell peppers, you should select those with a shiny, smooth, and thick skin.
- Fresh bell peppers will still have the stem firmly attached, feel heavy when picked up, and have bright colors. These will be fresh and nutritious bell peppers.
- Avoid purchasing bell peppers that are soft and mushy, have bruises, dull colors, or cracks, as these are spoiled and lack nutrients.
How to choose fresh and delicious avocados
- You should choose avocados that still have stems; if the avocado is newly ripe, the stem will be slightly yellow.
- The skin of the fruit should be taut and shiny, not bumpy or spotty. It should feel heavy and firm in your hand.
- Avoid buying avocados with green or dark brown stems that are wilted or bruised, as these avocados are either not ripe enough or have been left too long.
How to choose and buy delicious brown rice paper

How to prepare Brown rice paper rolls with chicken breast and vegetables
-
Prepare the ingredients
Chicken breast after buying should be washed clean and drained. Marinate the chicken breast with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper.
Bell pepper should be washed clean, remove the stem, and cut into thin slices.
Red cabbage should be washed clean and cut into thin shreds.
Carrot should be washed clean, peeled, and cut into thin shreds.
Cucumber should be washed clean, drained, and cut into thin strips.
Chives and cilantro should be washed clean and drained.
Tips for cleaning chicken breast without odor:
- You can rub the chicken breast with coarse salt and rinse it several times with water to clean it and remove any odor.
- Using a mixture of crushed ginger and white wine to rub on the chicken breast is also very effective for eliminating odors.
- Alternatively, you can soak the chicken breast in a basin of water, add a little lemon juice, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then remove and rinse several times with clean water.
-
Boil vegetables
Place a pot of about 500ml of water on the stove, wait for the water to boil, then add the sliced bell pepper and purple cabbage in turn, boil on medium heat for about 2 minutes until the vegetables are cooked, then remove and drain.
-
Fry eggs
Crack 1 egg into a bowl, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper, then beat well until the egg is fully mixed.
Place a pan on the stove, pour the beaten egg in thinly and fry on medium heat for about 1 minute until one side is golden, flip to the other side and continue frying until golden all over, then transfer the egg to a plate, turn off the heat.
-
Searing chicken
Reuse the pan you just used to fry the eggs and add 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil.
When the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken and sear it over medium heat for about 2 minutes. When one side is slightly golden, flip to the other side and continue searing. Continue until the chicken breast is cooked through and fragrant, then turn off the heat and plate it.
-
Cutting chicken and eggs
After searing, place the chicken on a cutting board and slice it into thin pieces.
Similarly, after frying the eggs, cut them into thin strips for easier rolling.
-
Roll chicken breast and vegetables
Lay a piece of brown rice paper on a clean flat surface. Then, arrange chives, cilantro, cucumber, carrot, purple cabbage, and bell pepper in order, then roll the rice paper halfway. Add butter, eggs, and chicken, then completely roll it up.
Repeat the same process with the remaining ingredients.
-
Make the sauce
Heat a pan on the stove, wait for the pan to get hot, then add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons of tamarind juice, and mix well until the mixture is blended.
Next, add 4 tablespoons of water, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and stir until the sauce thickens and is smooth, then turn off the heat and transfer it to a bowl, sprinkling some roasted peanuts on top to finish.
