I dont think rice paper rolls are really a Thai dish. But rice papers (available in the supermarket in the Asian foods section or with the rice and pasta) make a great no-cook wrapper for this tasty salad. If you buy cooked prawns, this dish is purely assembly. Preparation time: 20 minutes Ingredients: prawns raw or cooked, 300g crab 1 x 170g can carrot 1, grated cucumber 1 short, seeds removed, diced lime leaves 2, finely sliced fresh coriander 1 tablespoon, chopped fish sauce ¼ cup lime juice of 1 rice paper rolls 6-8 warm water For the dipping sauce: fish sauce ¼ cup lime juice of 1 sugar 1 teaspoon chilli flakes ½ teaspoon If you have uncooked prawns, panfry them quickly in a non-stick pan. Set aside to cool. Chop the prawns into small chunks, discarding the tails. Combine the prawns and crab in a large bowl. Add all the other ingredients except the rice paper rolls. Stir everything together well. Combine the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Fill a large, flat basin or bowl with warm water. You can now put this, plus the rice paper rolls, dipping sauce and the bowl of prawn salad on the table, and let everyone dig in and make their own rolls or parcels. Just dip the rice papers in the water until they become soft and pliable. Put on a plate and fill with salad, then wrap or roll up. (Or you can pre-make the parcels and refrigerate them until youre ready to eat). Other nice dipping sauces are sweet chilli, peanut, and soy sauce. Makes 6-8 parcels. SERVES 4
