Serves 4 as a starter
Sugarcane adds unusual sweetness and it is lovely to chew the stick a little
after eating the prawn paste. It is available from Asian and Caribbean shops.
If you can't find it, you could make these with sticks of split lemongrass,
which will alter the character of the dish but in a good way.
_For the prawns_
500g raw organic tiger prawns
2 cloves of garlic, grated
1 egg white
1 tbsp fish sauce
a pinch of sugar
2 tbsp groundnut oil, for frying
8 split sugarcane sticks
_For the nuoc cham sauce_
1 tbsp palm sugar
1 tsp freshly chopped garlic
½-1 tsp chopped green and red chillies
2 tbsp fish sauce
Put the prawns, garlic, egg white, fish sauce and sugar into a food processor
and whiz to a smooth paste. Take a small handful, and form into a slim
sausage, wrapping it around the sugarcane stick. Repeat with the rest, making
a total of eight.
Mix together all the sauce ingredients with two tablespoons of water and leave
to stand. Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the prawn-wrapped sticks until
the meat is opaque, pink and firm to the touch. Serve the sugarcane prawns
hot, with the sauce to dip into, and some steamed rice.
**Wine choice 2008** The Naked Grape Riesling, Ernest Loosen, Pfalz, Germany
£6.64, Waitrose. The summer months and fresh, Asian spices give the perfect
opportunity to recommend this riesling, one of my perennial favourites. A
touch of sweetness among the aromatics absorbs the chilli heat. It is
dangerously easy to drink, so if you have guests round make sure there is
plenty of back-up in the fridge.
