- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 sugar
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
Prawns:

Rice Paper & Egg:

Instructions
Prepare the fish mixture:
- Place fish, salt, chicken stock powder (or dashi), cornflour, egg white, white pepper, and sugar in a food processor or stick blender. Blitz until smooth and sticky. Transfer to a bowl and stir through chopped spring onion.
Marinate the prawns:
- Combine prawns with soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and sugar. Set aside while preparing dumplings.
Prepare the rice paper:
- Mix the reserved egg yolk into the beaten eggs. This will be used to soften the rice papers
Assemble the dumplings:
- Dip a rice paper into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Lay flat on a board. Place a small scoop of fish mixture near the bottom, top with a marinated prawn. Fold the bottom over, fold in sides, then roll into a tight envelope. Repeat with remaining rice papers.
Cook the dumplings:
- Heat neutral oil in a frying pan for shallow frying.
- Fry dumplings until golden and crisp, turning to cook all sides evenly. Remove and drain briefly.
To serve:
- Cut each dumpling in half to create bite-size pieces.
- Serve warm with nuoc cham and sprinkle with furikake.
