- Take one strip and brush with a little of the oil.
- Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the paste along one narrow end.
- Place a prawn over the top, with only the tail extending beyond the edge of the pastry.
- Roll up to enclose the prawn, twisting the ends together to seal.
- Cover with a clean tea towel and repeat to make 12 fingers.
- Heat 4 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-based pan to a temperature of 350ºF or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds.
- Carefully slip in the prawn fingers and cook for 2 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden.
- Drain on absorbent paper, and serve at once with the Wasabi Soy Dip.
