    a former friend of mine who is a good cook


    Recipe Introduction


    This is a yummy lunch or if you are keen an entree for dinner. If you can't afford prawns, marinate some chicken in white wine, honey, garlic and soy and bake it for a short time instead. We did.


    List of Ingredients


    • Cooked Prawns (large ones)
    • iceberg lettuce
    • bean sprouts
    • mint leaves or Vietnamese mint
    • coriander (cilantro) leaves
    • vermicelli (noodles made from beans)
    • Vietnamese dipping sauce
    • cold roll wrappers (supermarkets or asian grocers have them these days)


    Instructions


    1. Halve prawns lengthwise. soak vermicelli in hot water and chop into pieces.
    2. Mix shredder lettuce with finely chopped herbs
    3. Follow packet instructions to soften wrappers.
    4. Lay prawn halves, lettuce mix, vermicelli and bean sprouts on wrapper. wrap up (this takes some practise). Moisten edges with water to stick and set aside until ready to serve.
    5. serve with dipping sauce.


    Final Comments


    I was pretty hungover and distracted and all but from memory i think that is how he did it. He might have put chopped peanuts in them too i am not sure.
