OMELETTE VEGETABLE ROLLS

Steps:

Add the beansprouts, onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry for another 1-2 mins or until the beansprouts are starting to turn transparent. Season with the soy sauce and set aside. Can be made up to 4 hrs ahead.
• Heat a medium frying pan, add a little oil, then tip out the excess. Pour in a little of the egg and swirl around the pan to make a thin, even layer. Fry for 30 secs or until the edges turn golden, then flip over with a palette knife for another 10 secs. Slide out onto greaseproof paper and repeat until you have made six pancakes. Can be made up to a day ahead.

EASY SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Before you get the kids cooking, put the noodles, vegetables, prawns and chicken in individual bowls for everyone to help themselves. Get everyone to wash their hands and put aprons on. Sit the kids down and give them their own mixing bowl and spoon. Let them choose which ingredients they want (noodles are essential) in their rolls and if they want to graze as they choose, that's fine - all the ingredients are cooked or can be eaten raw. Add a bit of garlic and ginger, a tiny dash of soy and sprinkling of five-spice to each bowl and let them mix everything together.
• Push the bowl aside and lay a sheet of pastry in front of each child. Ask them to spoon the filling down one side of each sheet, then give them the beaten egg and a brush so they can brush around the edges. Help them to roll the pastry up neatly by folding both sides over the filling, then rolling them up.
• Lift the spring rolls onto a baking tray, seam-side down, brush with a little more egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if you like. Try to remember which child made which roll to save any arguments at the end! Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden.
• While the rolls are in the oven, make the dipping sauce. Get the kids to mix all the ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved. When the spring rolls are golden and crisp, remove from the oven. Leave until cool enough to handle, cut into pieces for smaller kids, then let them eat, dipping the rolls into the sauce.
