Fresh, light, translucent rolls of rice paper packed with prawns, herbs, vermicelli and crisp vegetables. Healthier than chips, prettier than a takeaway. The dipping sauce is half the magic.

The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Cook the prawns in boiling water for 2 minutes until pink. Cool and slice in half lengthways.
  2. 2
    Soak the vermicelli in hot water for 4 minutes, drain and rinse cold. Julienne carrots and cucumber.
  3. 3
    Dip a rice paper in warm water for 5 seconds — it'll feel a bit firm but soften as you work. Lay flat.
  4. 4
    In the bottom third: lettuce, vermicelli, carrot, cucumber, mint, coriander. Above: 3-4 prawn halves cut-side up.
  5. 5
    Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold in the sides, then roll up tight. Mix peanut butter, hoisin, soy and minced garlic with a splash of water for dipping.
