PREP INSTRUCTIONS
- Toss the crab with the mango, red pepper, onion, sweet chili sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil until combined. Reserve. Lay out a clean tea towel on a flat working surface. Dip one rice paper wrap in a bowl of hot water for 15 seconds or until pliable. Pull wrapper out of the water and place on the towel to drain. Blot lightly with a second clean towel.Tear a piece of lettuce to fit into the centre of the wrap; place the lettuce so that the frilly edge overhangs the top edge slightly. Place 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the crab mixture in the centre of the lettuce.Top with a small amount of the bean sprouts and cilantro leaves. Fold the bottom third of the wrap up over the filling. Roll tightly from one side to the other, enclosing the filling but leaving the top end open, with the filling peaking out. Repeat with remaining wraps and filling. Serve with additional sweet chili sauce for dipping.
