Delicious and because you bake them they are also healthy!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 boneless Chicken breast (skin on)
- Salt & Pepper
- bundle dried thread rice noodles (about 60g)
- 1 Tbsp Sunflower Oil
- 300g pack fresh stir-fry vegetables – go for a leafy mix
- half finger-length fresh root ginger, grated
- small bunch Coriander, stalks finely sliced, leaves roughly chopped
- 2 Tbsp Sweet Chilli Sauce, plus extra to serve
- 8 small sheets Filo pastry
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds (optional)
- Bradley Smoker bisquettes – Maple, Alder, Premium Beer or Premium Ginger Sesame
DIRECTIONS:
- Turn on your Bradley Smoker and set the temperature to 110C. Load with your favourite bisquettes (Maple, Alder, Premium Beer, and Premium Ginger Sesame are all great flavours for Chicken)
- Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Hot smoke for approximately 1 hour (or until an internal temperature of 75C degrees is reached). Let cool and shred
- Preheat oven to 200C. Cook the noodles according to pack instructions.
- Heat 1 tsp Oil in a large wok or non-stick frying pan. Stir-fry the vegetables, ginger and coriander stalks for 3-4 mins until almost cooked, but still with a little crunch.
- Add the shredded smoked chicken and rice noodles, and mix through – set aside.
- To manage the filo pastry without it breaking easily, defrost and keep under a plate or a sheet of plastic until required (this prevents it drying out). Brush 4 sheets of filo with a little of the oil, then place another sheet on top of each one.
- Pile a quarter of your chicken mixture along the narrow edge of each sheet, fold over the edges, and roll up to give you 4 large spring rolls. These can now be baked or frozen for up to 1 month; defrost thoroughly before cooking as below.
- To bake, brush each spring roll with the remaining oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds if using, then bake on a baking sheet, seam-side down, for 15 mins until golden and crisp. Serve with a green salad, and some extra sweet chilli sauce on the side.
