    Rinse rice in cold water until water runs clear; drain. Place in a medium heavy-based saucepan with 1 2/3 cups water. Bring to the boil, stirring. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, for 12-15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Stand for 5 minutes (don't lift lid). Cool rice slightly.

    To make a roll (you need 3 wrappers), briefly dip each rice paper wrapper into a bowl of water to soften. Arrange the wrappers, overlapping slightly, on a clean tea-towel to form a 40x18cm rectangle. Arrange a quarter of the rice mixture along centre of rectangle. Fold in 2 opposite sides, then roll up tightly to enclose filling. Place on a platter. Repeat, using remaining wrappers, to make 3 more rolls. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill for 30 minutes. Slice and serve rolls with soy sauce and extra wasabi.
