Step 3

Soak a rice paper wrapper in warm water for 10-20 seconds. Transfer to a clean tea towel to absorb excess water. Place a little of the noodles in the centre of the wrapper. Add about 1 tablespoon each of the mince and coleslaw. Top with 2 mint leaves. Fold in the ends and roll up to enclose filling. Place on a plate and cover with a slightly damp cloth to prevent drying out. Continue with remaining wrappers and fillings. Scatter with chilli and extra mint. Serve with the dipping sauce.
