Ingredients

12 round sheets rice paper

2 cups butter lettuce leaves, torn

1 Lebanese cucumber, deseeded, thinly sliced

1 bunch coriander, sprigs picked

1⁄2 bunch mint, leaves picked

500g cooked tiger prawns, peeled, deveined, halved lengthways

1 bunch chives

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, crushed

4cm piece ginger, finely grated

1⁄2 cup hoi sin sauce

1 Tbsp peanut butter

Juice of 2 limes

Chopped roast peanuts, to serve

Chopped red chilli, to serve

Method

Soak 1 of the rice papers in warm water for 20 seconds, then drain well and lay flat on a work surface. Put a little of the lettuce, cucumber and coriander in a small pile at far side of sheet, then place 3 of the mint leaves in centre. Put 2 of the prawn halves, skin- side down, at closest side.

Fold over closest side of paper to enclose prawns, then fold in sides. Arrange 4 chives along fold line of length of sheet allowing to overhang at 1 end. Roll up to secure ingredients. Repeat Steps 1-2 to make 12 rolls.

Put vegetable oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and fry for 2 minutes or until light golden. Add hoi sin sauce, peanut butter and lime juice, then simmer for 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with peanut and chilli. Serve rolls with dipping sauce on the side.
