How to Make Chinese Prawn Rolls in Your Sausage Roll Maker

If you’re in the mood for something a bit different, why not try making Chinese prawn rolls using your sausage roll maker? They're quick, delicious, and perfect for a snack or party platter. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started.

Ingredients:

• 250g cooked prawns, chopped
• 100g grated carrots
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 250g ready-made filo pastry or spring roll skins
• Water, for sealing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped prawns, grated carrots, spring onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

2. Assemble the Rolls: Lay a sheet of filo pastry (or a spring roll skin) on a clean surface. If using filo, you may wish to layer two sheets for added crunch. Spoon a small amount of the prawn filling along one edge of the pastry, leaving some space at the sides.

3. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the pastry over the filling, tucking in the edges as you go to create a neat package. Use a little water to seal the edges of the pastry securely to prevent any filling from escaping during cooking.

4. Cook in the Sausage Roll Maker: Preheat your sausage roll maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the prawn rolls into the appliance, ensuring there’s enough space between them for even cooking. Close the lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crispy.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the prawn rolls and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re excellent with a dipping sauce such as sweet chilli or soy sauce.

These Chinese prawn rolls are not only easy to make but will surely impress your family and friends. Happy rolling!
