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.

Tips:
- To make the perfect spring roll wrapper, use a thin and pliable rice paper. You can find rice paper sheets in most Asian grocery stores.
- Soak the rice paper sheets in warm water for about 10 seconds until they become soft and pliable. Do not soak them for too long, or they will become too soft and tear easily.
- When rolling the spring rolls, place the filling ingredients in the center of the wrapper and fold the sides over the filling. Then, roll the wrapper tightly from the bottom up.
- To make sure the spring rolls are crispy, fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown. You can also bake them in the oven at a high temperature for a healthier option.
- Serve the spring rolls with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, and peanut sauce.

Spring rolls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are relatively easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences.
