Total Time: 18 minutes
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 3 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 garlic chives, finely chopped
- 12 medium-sized green ling prawns, unpeeled
- Vermicelli noodles, cooked according to package instructions (see Cook's Note)
- 2 tablespoons crushed roasted peanuts
- 1 green mango, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 green banana, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 6 lettuce leaves, torn in half
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- Nuoc mam cham dipping fish sauce
Special equipment: 12 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium heat.
- In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil with the finely sliced garlic chives until just simmering. Stir gently, then remove from heat and pour the garlic chive oil into a bowl.
- Thread each prawn onto a skewer by passing the skewer through the tail and then through the top of the head. Grill over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side until cooked through.
- While the prawns cook, warm the vermicelli noodles on a plate in the microwave for 1 minute at high power. Toss the noodles with the garlic chive oil and sprinkle crushed peanuts over them. Tear off a piece of the noodles and use it to wrap a grilled prawn (remove the skewer first). Place the wrapped prawn on a lettuce leaf, then add slices of mango, banana, and cucumber before rolling it up.
- Repeat for all prawns and serve the wraps with nuoc mam cham dipping sauce.
Vermicelli noodles can be found at specialty Asian grocery stores.
