- 350 g raw peeled prawns
- 210 g Wattie’s Wok Creations Sweet Chilli & Lime Stir-Fry Sauce
- 2-3 Tbsp lime juice, to taste
- 12 medium rice paper wrappers
- 1 Lebanese cucumber, seeds removed, cut into fine matchsticks
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts
- 1 long red chilli, seeds removed, thinly sliced into lengths
- ¼ cup mint leaves, chopped
- ½ cup coriander leaves, chopped
1. Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Add the prawns and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add half a pouch of the Wattie’s Wok Creations Sweet Chilli & Lime Stir-Fry Sauce and stir-fry for a further 2 to 3 minutes until the prawns are cooked through. Set aside to cool.
2. While the prawns are cooling, make the dipping sauce. Combine the remaining Wattie’s Wok Creations Sweet Chilli & Lime Stir-Fry Sauce and the lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Place a rice paper wrapper in a bowl of hot water for about 30 seconds or until it has softened enough to roll. Pat dry and place on a flat surface.
4. Place some of the prawns, cucumber, bean sprouts, chilli, mint and coriander in a line down the centre of the rice paper wrapper, leaving about 3 cm at each end. Fold in both sides and roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Serve with the dipping sauce.
Other ideas
- Place the rice paper wrapper on a damp tea towel to prevent them sticking to your work surface.
- Replace prawns with 350g chicken strips. Cook following directions above for 4 to 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- Rice paper wrappers can be usually found in the international section of your supermarket or in Asian specialty stores.
- If you can’t get Lebanese use half a telegraph cucumber instead.
Made With

This recipe is extremely nice, our cook used to make it all the time in Indonesia. Here in NZ the prawns are all frozen and many come from Thailand, we have had upset tummies after eating them, would suggest, pay a little more and get Australian prawns, much much nicer...... be careful to de-vein them completely, or you will get sick. Some Asian prawns have 2 veins. Will make this recipe again and again, thanks for publishing it.
