Method

1. MakeMix all the dipping sauce ingredients in a bowl and keep aside.Heat up enough water in a saucepan. Once boiling, add in the noodles and let them cook for 30 secs. Once cooked, transfer into a bowl of cold water filled with ice cubes to stop it from cooking further.Next, drain the noodles and add a tsp of oil so they don’t stick together.Gather a bundle of noodles and wrap them around a prawn. Repeat with remaining prawns.
2. Heat up a frying pan with enough oil. Check the oil by dipping a chopstick in (if there are bubbles coming off the chopsticks, it means the oil is ready).Gently slide the noodle-wrapped prawns into the hot oil in a few batches and fry until cooked (3-5 mins) and the noodles are evenly brown on both sides.
3. Removed fried prawns and drain them on a wire rack lined with kitchen towel to absorb excess oil.
