Prawn Spring Rolls With Plum and Shiso
Ready In: 20 mins
Serves: 16
Ingredients
- 16 spring roll wrappers, brought to room temperature for 10 minutes
- 16 green king prawns, peeled leaving tails intact, deveined
- 120 g hanpen sliced to match the size prawns (Japanese fishcakes)
- 6 umeboshi, pitted, finely chopped (pickled plums)
- 16 baby shiso or 16 coriander leaves
- vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- lemon wedge, to serve
Directions
- Trim spring roll wrappers to 18.5cm square. Place a wrapper on a chopping board with a point facing towards you.
- Cut a small incision slightly off centre, below the west-facing point. Place a prawn horizontally across the wrapper and push its tail through the cut (this is so the tail protrudes when rolled).
- Top prawn with a slice of hanpen and some chopped umeboshi. Fold bottom third of the wrapper up, then fold in the sides. Roll up once, place a shiso or coriander leaf in the centre, then roll up loosely.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers, prawns, hanpen, umeboshi and shiso.
- Add enough oil to a wok or large saucepan to reach 1/3 of the way up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat to 180°C Deep-fry spring rolls, in batches, for 2-3 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Drain on paper towel. Serve with lemon wedges.
