Create a simple, healthy and flavourful lunch with these rice paper rolls which are low-cal, low-fat and gluten-free. Use the roasted chicken and cooked tri-coloured quinoa leftovers to make this time-saving, delicious meal.
|
- Place quinoa and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer. Cook, occasionally stirring, for 10-12 minutes or until quinoa is tender. Cool slightly. Toss with the tamari.
- Soak a sheet of rice paper wrapper in hot water for 10-20 seconds. Transfer to a clean tea towel to absorb excess water. Place a little of the quinoa in the middle of the rice paper. Top with sliced chicken, sweet pepper, chilli and fresh herb leaves.
- Roll up firmly to enclose the filling. Cover with a slightly damp cloth to preven drying out. Repeat with remaining sheets. Continue with remaining rice paper and fillings. Serve with extra tamari, if desired.

I made two huge batches of a Thai quinoa salad last week and savored every bite. Your rice paper rolls look like another amazing lunch option, too.

So pretty! I love the idea of using quinoa in these summer rolls!
great idea! they are a healthier choice of complex carb than the usual vermicelli, I have to try this next time :)
I have always loved the colors of your food, this one is another example.
I have been thinking of trying using rice paper for a while. Your idea is brilliant. I love this recipe!
Beautifully fresh and delicious, Angie! It's been too long since I've made rice paper rolls and I love the idea of using left over chicken. Great recipe!
I'll take a dozen please! WOW! those look fabulous!
What a colorful presentation. Plus those rolls look so tempting. I am gonna have to try this recipe soon. Also I am just starting out with my new baking blog. Here is the link. https://greedyeats.com Have a look if you get sometime. Thanks!
I really want to make veggie-loaded rice paper rolls like yours, again. But the last time I made mine, the rice paper sheets broke too easily and I gave up! Maybe I got the wrong brand or soak too long in water (or did not soak enough?).
I’ve always wanted to play with rice paper rolls, but I’ve never had the chance. This recipe looks like the perfect healthy snack Angie, I think its time to buy some Rice Paper :)
I absolutely love summer rolls and these are just gorgeous, Angie!! I could devour an insane amount of these!! Cheers!
Very nice, Angie! You make everything look so easy and pretty, and I know they taste delicious. You've inspired me to make them for lunch soon, healthy for sure! Thanks!
I love rice paper roll but somehow never made it at home. I need to change that soon and probably start with your recipe.
Angie, these Tri-coloured quinoa rice paper rolls look so delicious, it will really make a beautiful and delicious lunch. Thank you for the great recipe.
I love making rice paper rolls, but I've never thought to use quinoa in them. Love this!
Nice! Fresh and light. Makes for a wonderful appetizer or light lunch.

Oh, Angie! This is a beautiful recipe to impress your guests;) My daughter would love some quinoa rice paper rolls for her lunch! She loves healthy meals.
these look so good, so healthy too! yum!
So clever, like a spring roll but with quinoa. I have not played with rice paper in so long. Add a few shrimps too, well for me lol. Great recipe!
What an incredible coincidence, Angie, I recently perfected my rice paper rolls too! I made mine vegetarian with shrimp and some eggs which were awesome. I also tried 'frying' them in an Acti-fry (using the basket) which worked out OK, turned out more dehydrated than fried but the peeps still loved them. Great idea to put Quinoa in them instead of rice noodles.
Angie, I've always wanted to make rolls like these (I sure love to eat them!). These are so pretty and healthy. I will be brave and try to make some! :)
Love all quinoa. Not sure my skills are up to rolling though. :)
I would have never thought to use quinoa in rice paper rolls, but it sounds delicious!
Wow, what a fabulous new recipe Angie. I love Asian food, such as this, and spring or vegetable rolls. So pretty to look at as well as enjoy!
I would love to have couple of these for my office lunch! They look so appetizing!
