Step 1

To make the tomato sauce, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the tomato, water, chilli, vinegar and sugar and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.

Step 2

Meanwhile, to make the cannelloni, combine the mince, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, green shallot, oregano, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the parsley in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Soak a rice-paper sheet in a large dish of warm water for 30 seconds or until soft and pliable (don't leave the rice-paper sheet in the water too long or it will become fragile and tear). Drain on paper towel and transfer to a clean work surface. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture down the centre of the rice-paper sheet. Fold in ends and roll up firmly to enclose filling. Place cannelloni, seam-side down, in a large bamboo steamer basket. Repeat with the remaining rice-paper sheets and beef mixture.

Step 4

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil over high heat. Cover steamer basket and place over the pan. Steam cannelloni for 5 minutes or until cooked through. Use tongs to transfer the cannelloni to serving plates.

Step 5

Spoon tomato sauce over the cannelloni. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve immediately.
