Celebrate the Chinese New Year
Serves:
4-6
INGREDIENTS
20-24 rice paper discs (7 inches across) vegetable oil for
frying
225g minced pork
175g raw prawns, peeled
4 shallots finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tbsp spring onions, finely chopped
30 g rice noodles
6 shiitake mushrooms, stalk removed and finely sliced
2 medium carrots peeled and finely diced
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 egg
Juice of one lime
2 tbsp coriander, chopped
2 cm fresh ginger finely diced
METHOD
1. Place all the chopped ingredients, mince,
prawns etc in a bowl. Break in the egg, add seasoning, and mix in
well.
2. Take a chopping board and place in front of you
on the table. Fill a bowl of water and place it on the table in
front of you to the right, and a plate to the left. Place a damp
cloth on the board. Dip a rice paper in the bowl of water for a few
seconds, then place on the damp cloth. Turn in the front edge of
the disc by 2cm. Then place 2-3tsp of mixture along the straight
edge, then roll it over, tucking in the sides as you go, until you
have a little sausage of rice paper filled with mixture. Use up all
the mixture in this way, and place on the plate, keeping them
separate, otherwise they will stick together.
3. Heat a wok with a good few centimetres of oil,
until ready to deep fry. Drop in a few bundles at a time and cook
for 2-3mins, until golden and cooked.
4. Place on a plate and serve hot with soy sauce
in one bowl and sweet chilli sauce in another for dipping.
