Method

  1. Crush and chop garlic. Chop shallots. Put garlic, shallots, prawns, fish fillet, salt, black pepper powder, sugar and fish sauce in a blender and grind into a fine paste.
  2. Transfer the prawn paste into a bowl. Add egg, rice powder and mix well. Dampen your palm, take a portion of prawn in your palm and wrap it tightly around a sugarcane stick.
  3. Repeat this with the remaining mixture and sugarcane sticks. Heat oil in a non stick grill pan. Place the prawn sticks in batches of 4 on the pan. Cook on medium heat rotating frequently until lightly browned all around. Do not overcook.
  4. Serve hot, garnished with mint sprigs and a sauce of your choice.
