INGREDIENTS
18 raw prawn cutlets
2 teaspoons rice bran oil
1 teaspoon chilli oil
Salad
100 grams vermicelli
1 mango, chopped
2/3 cup each chopped coriander, mint, Thai basil or basil leaves
3 spring onions, finely chopped
1 cup bean sprouts
2 baby cos lettuces, finely sliced

METHOD
Put the prawn cutlets in a container (or ziplock bag) with the cooking oil and chilli oil. Stir well to coat and marinate for an hour, or up to 6 hours. Fry the prawns 1–2 minutes each side until pink and cooked through.
