Dim Sum Prawn Chee Cheong Fun Roll Hack!
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 8 minutes
Cooking time: 2 minutes
Makes 5 rolls
- 5 rice paper sheets
- Bowl of water with 3-4 drops oil
- 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
- 1 stick spring onion, sliced
- 2 teaspoons cornflour/fine cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lard or oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 20 prawns, shelled
- Oil spray
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.
