Picture
Makes:  8    Preparation:  20 min    

INGREDIENTS
  • 60g rice vermicelli or rice noodles
  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 8 large cooked prawns, peeled, deveined and cut in half
  • 1 1/3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • 2 lettuce leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic-chilli sauce
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped roasted peanuts
METHOD​
  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Boil rice noodles for 3 to 5 minutes, or until al dente, and drain. Rinse thoroughly with cold water so they don't stick together.
  • Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one wrapper into the water for 1 second to soften. Lay wrapper on the bench and place 2 prawn halves, a handful of noodles, basil, mint, coriander and lettuce in a row across the centre, leaving about 5cm of the wrapper uncovered on each side.
  • Fold in uncovered sides of wrapper, then tightly roll to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining rolls.
  • In a small bowl, mix the fish sauce, water, lime juice, garlic, sugar and garlic-chilli sauce.
  • In another small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce and peanuts.
  • Serve the rice paper rolls with the fish sauce and hoisin-peanut dipping sauces.
