Crispy, saucy and completely worth it 🍤
Rice Paper Prawn Dumpling Bowls
Serves 2
Ingredients:
For the dumplings
✅200g raw prawns, peeled
✅1 cup roughly chopped napa cabbage
✅¼ cup spring onions, roughly chopped
✅1 tsp garlic, chopped
✅1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
✅1 tbsp sesame oil
✅1 tbsp kecap manis
✅6 rice paper sheets
For the red curry sauce
✅1 x 400ml can coconut milk
✅2 tbsp red curry paste
✅1 tbsp soy sauce
✅1 tbsp peanut butter
✅Juice of ½ lime
To serve
✅2 cups cooked rice
✅Sesame seeds
✅Sliced spring onions
✅Fresh coriander
✅Lime wedges
Method:
Place the prawns, napa cabbage, spring onions, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and kecap manis into a food processor. Blitz until combined but still slightly textured.
Lightly wet a rice paper sheet and place it on a clean surface. Spoon one-third of the prawn mixture into a log shape across the lower third of the rice paper. Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Wrap with a second wet rice paper sheet. Repeat twice more to make 3 large rolls using all 6 rice paper sheets.
Using a sharp, clean knife, slice each roll into bite-sized dumpling pieces.
Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer and cook for 1 minute. Cover with a lid and cook for 3 minutes.
Turn each dumpling and cook, covered, for a further 3 minutes or until golden, crispy and the prawn filling is cooked through.
Meanwhile, add the coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, peanut butter and lime juice to a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened to your liking.
Divide the rice between 2 bowls. Top with the crispy prawn dumplings and spoon over the red curry sauce.
Finish with sesame seeds, spring onions, coriander and lime wedges.
