Soaking the rolls in water with a few drops of oil

Step 1 - Place 2-3 rice paper sheets in the water at a time. Mix the ginger, spring onion, cornflour, lard or oil, sesame oil and white pepper in a bowl. Add the prawns and stir to coat.

Step 2 - Spray two plates with oil spray. On one plate place a rice paper sheet and place four prawns towards the bottom. Fold up from the bottom and then fold in the sides (like a burrito as shown below) and fold up into a parcel. Place on the other oiled plate and continue until all rolls are made.

Step 3 - If you have a spray bottle of water spray the rolls with water. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Check if the prawns are cooked (they'll turn pink) and microwave for an extra minute if they aren't (if you make one roll at a time they'll take less than a minute to cook). Serve with soy sauce. I add chilli and coriander too.
