San Choy Bow Rolls with Sauce is a beautiful fresh summer dish that is light but very filling.
We also have the traditional version, but this is something a bit different. This is super healthy and if you are vegetarian or vegan, it is so easy to change up the ingredients to suit.
The only tricky thing is separating the rice paper rolls when they are wet!
