Prawn noodle rolls with Thai dipping sauce recipe
- 110 g (3.9oz) cucumber
- 1 small bunch of coriander
- 50 g (1.8oz) roasted and salted cashew nuts
- 100 g (3.5oz) fine rice noodles
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 250 g (8.8oz) cooked and peeled prawns
- 12 spring roll wrappers (16cm in diameter)
- 1 cm piece of root ginger
- 1 red chilli
- 1 small bunch of coriander
- 1 tbsp soft light brown sugar
- 2 limes, juice only
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- First prepare the dipping sauce.
- Peel and finely grate the root ginger, deseed the chilli and finely chop it and the coriander, then mix in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and 3 tablespoons of water.
- Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to use.
- (Left covered in the fridge, it will keep for 48 hours.)
- Next peel the cucumber and cut into cubes about 5mm/ 1/4in in size, finely chop the coriander and roughly chop the cashew nuts.
- Cover the rice noodles in boiling water and leave for as long as instructed on the packet (usually around 10 minutes).
- Once soft and pliable, drain and place in a large bowl.
- Pour over the toasted sesame oil, then add the prawns, cucumber, coriander and cashew nuts and mix together until combined.
- Prepare the spring roll wrappers by immersing each in cold water for a few seconds and then placing on a clean tea towel for 1 minute to allow it to soften.
- Transfer each softened wrapper to a chopping board and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the rice noodles and prawns along the centre of the wrapper.
- Fold in two opposing sides of the wrapper and then fold over one of the remaining sides to cover the filling by about a third.
- Continue to roll the wrapper so that the filling is completely enclosed.
- Set aside on a plate and continue this process with each sheet of rice paper until you have made all of the noodle rolls.
- You can then either serve the rolls immediately with the dipping sauce or cover and refrigerate for a few hours until ready to serve.
