How to Make Prawns Noodles In Lettuce Cups

  1. Cook noodles: Place 75g dried rice noodles in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and let stand for 5 minutes. Drain well under cold running water.
  2. Prepare the prawns: Cook 150g raw prawns until pink and opaque. Set aside to cool slightly. You can quickly pan-fry, steam or boil them.
  3. Prep the veggies: Finely slice 1/2 cup carrot and 2 shallots. Add 1/2 cup bean sprouts.
  4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon fish sauce.
  5. Combine everything: In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked noodles, prawns, carrot, shallots, and bean sprouts.
  6. Dress the noodles: Pour the sweet chili dressing over the noodle mixture and toss gently to coat.
  7. Assemble & serve: Divide 6-8 large lettuce leaves (e.g., butter lettuce or romaine) among serving plates. Spoon the noodle mixture into the lettuce cups. Serve immediately.
