Ingredients
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tsp dark sesame oil
2 cups shredded cooked whole chicken, about 1/2 a rotisserie chicken (skin discarded)
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
8 leaves red-leaf lettuce, washed and dried
4 green onions, cut into 4-in. strips
1 medium cucumber, sliced into 4-oin. Strips
8 sheets rice paper
Instructions
Stir hoisin with sesame oil in a small bowl. Lay a damp kitchen towel on counter. Fill a pie plate with warm water and place beside towel. Line up ingredients.
Dip 1 rice-paper round in water until pliable, about 30 sec. Lay softened round on damp towel. Place a lettuce leaf near the bottom. Top with about 1/4 cup chicken. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp of hoisin mixture. Layer with 1 piece each of green onion, cucumber and pepper. Lift rice-paper edge closest to you up and over filling, then roll toward the centre. Fold in sides, then continue rolling to form a log. Set seam-side down on a platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice rolls in half diagonally.
