Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients for the dipping sauce with 2 tablespoons water and set to one side. Place the rice noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Stir and soak for about 5 minutes or until tender. Refresh under cold water and drain well before placing in a bowl.
  2. Add the beansprouts, carrot, spring onion, prawns, basil, fish sauce and lime zest. Combine well and set to one side
  3. Fill a bowl wide enough to fit a whole rice paper with cold water and add one of the rice papers. Carefully dunk under the water for a couple of minutes until completely softened. Shake dry, then place on a piece of kitchen roll on the work surface.
  4. Spoon ⅛ of the filling in a mound along the centre of the rice paper circle, leaving a 4cm gap at each end. Fold the sides over the filling and then roll up into a roll shape similar to a spring roll. Set to one side and repeat with the remaining rice papers. Serve with the dipping sauce.
