- Heat a wok or large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat.
- Add half of the lamb slices and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes, or until the meat is cooked to your liking.
- Remove to a plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining lamb.
- Working with one wrapper at a time, dip the rice wrapper into a bowl of hot water to soften for 20–25 seconds, then transfer to clean tea towel (dish towel) and pat dry.
- Place a trimmed lettuce leaf in the centre of the wrapper and top with a few lamb slices, some spring onions cucumber, plum slices and shredded lettuce.
- Fold in both sides of the wrapper, then roll up neatly tucking in one end, and set aside.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients to make 16 wraps in total.
- Arrange the wraps on a serving platter and scatter over any remaining spring onion.
- Serve with the dipping sauce passed separately.
