Chicken Roll with Assorted Wild Rice

Inspiration

Mr LEUNG Po-lam, Head Chef of New Life Restaurant, has worked in a Vietnamese restaurant and is very familiar with Vietnamese cuisine. He modified Vietnamese spring rolls by using healthier stuffing such as assorted wild rice, Chinese lettuce and chicken meat. Mr LEUNG said that the dish has become a very popular dish in their restaurant.

Gourmet’s Comments

Ms Cyd HO: "The stuffing is wrapped in Vietnamese spring roll sheet and Chinese lettuce, which makes the roll both crispy and yet chewy. Sweet and sour sauce is fresh, while vegetables add colour to the whole dish. It offers a new combination of ingredients yet they blend well. What a delicious dish!"

Mr Walter KEI: "It is a very innovative dish. It offers a balanced, delicate and fresh flavour. The dish really comes out of the box."
