I make summer rolls which are delicious and involve very little cooking, apart from one pot of boiling water to quickly cook the rice noodles and dip the rice paper wrappers. This site (http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com/2008/08/01/thai-vietnamese-summer-salad-rolls/) has a really good roundup and wrapping instructions! You can include any ingredients you want - avocado is awesome. Sometimes I fry up some mushrooms to put in them, but usually not. On the other hand, Australia does have relatively cheap fruit and vegies all year, which helps.
