Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 8 Rice paper wrappers
- 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
- 1 medium Cucumber (julienned)
- 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves (soft varieties like butterhead)
- 4 tbsp Sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the grated ginger, soy sauce, and honey to create a marinade.
Add the raw prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare a clean work surface and a shallow dish of warm water for the rice paper wrappers.
Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for a few seconds until soft and pliable (do not soak too long to prevent tearing), then lay it flat on the work surface.
Place a lettuce leaf in the center of the softened wrapper. Add a small handful of julienned carrot, cucumber, and 2-3 mint leaves on top of the lettuce.
Place 3-4 cooked prawns on top of the vegetables.
Fold the sides of the rice paper wrapper over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a snug roll. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Slice each roll in half, if desired, and serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
