2. TO ASSEMBLE THE ROLLS:

Place the prawns in the bottom third of the sheet, top with beansprouts and then the apple. Spoon over some of the chill and lime sauce from the wok. Fold over into a log shape then fold the ends in, roll to the top to enclose and make into a roll.
Serve with a sweet chilli sauce.
«Shred some spring onion thinly and place in a bowl of iced water to make them curl and use as a garnish. Chopped roasted peanuts will add another flavour and texture to these snacks.»
