Rice noodles with prawn and broad bean patties

Step 1

Place the broad beans, prawns, ginger, coriander stalks, sesame seeds, spring onion and egg in a small food processor and pulse until chopped.

Step 2

To make the chilli dressing, place all the ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, without stirring, for 8 minutes or until the dressing coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Set aside. Heat peanut oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Using about 11/2 tbs for each, shape the prawn mixture into 12 patties. In 2 batches, cook patties, turning halfway, for 4 minutes or until golden.

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, remove patties from pan and drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining patties.

Step 5

Serve patties with vermicelli noodles, chilli dressing, lime wedges, mint, sesame seeds and coriander leaves.
