Goong Sarong (Thai Crispy Prawn Noodle Wraps)

Whole prawns wound in fine egg noodles and fried, so the noodle shatters and the prawn inside stays juicy.

⏱ 40 min total🔪 25 min prep🔥 15 min cookMediumServes 4Thai

Ingredients

  • 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
  • 120 g fresh egg noodles
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp white pepper

Directions

  1. 1Pat the prawns completely dry, leaving the tails on as handles.
  2. 2Toss them with the soy sauce and white pepper and leave while you separate the noodles.
  3. 3Take a few strands of noodle and wind them tightly around each prawn, leaving the tail bare.
  4. 4Heat the oil to 170C.
  5. 5Fry four at a time for three minutes until the noodle cage is golden and rigid.
