vietnamese lettuce wraps

Recipe video above. Such a great DIY summer spread, a regular all through summer in my circles! It&#39;s essentially a lower-cal version of Vietnamese rice paper rolls. The fresh herbs and the peanut sauce are key here! Everything else you can switch: prawns for shredded chicken, pan fried salmon or other fish (flake into big chunks) or even tofu (I pan fry batons). Use whatever shreddable veg you want. Emergency version: store bought roast chicken (shredded) + packet shredded coleslaw veg + peanut sauce + noodles. SO GOOD.

Pickle first - Put the boiling water, salt and sugar in a bowl. Mix to to dissolve, then add vinegar. Submerge vegetables and leave for 2 hours. Drain then use per recipe (or store in fridge submerged in liquid).

Peanut sauce - Mix the peanut sauce ingredients and set aside for the flavours to meld while you prepare the platter. Start with 1 tbsp lime juice and add more if you want tarter.

Prawns (shrimp) - Cut the prawns in half horizontally and remove the vein.

Noodles - Soak the noodles in boiling water per packet directions. Rinse under cold water (to prevent stickiness) then drain very well.

Lay it all out - Pile everything onto a giant platter or put things in little bowls, then let everybody help themselves!

Assemble - Here&#39;s my order: lettuce leaf, noodles first, then veg* (carrots, bean sprouts etc), prawns, stuff herbs down the side, drizzle with sauce, sprinkle with peanuts and chilli. Bundle and bite!
