Slice spring onion thinly and add it to the dipping sauce mixture along with chopped coriander and fresh mint. Mix well.

4

Rinse the soaked noodles in cold water and chop them into bite-sized lengths.

5

Slice the cooked prawns and add them to the noodle mixture for sweetness.

Peel and slice the carrot into thin strips and add to the mixture.

8

Add fresh mint, basil, and coriander to the filling mixture, mixing well to combine.

9

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the filling mixture and add a couple of tablespoons of the dipping sauce, mixing gently to avoid making it too wet.

10

Soak a rice paper wrap in warm water for about 30 seconds, then carefully lay it onto a board.

11

Place the filling mixture at the bottom of the rice paper wrap, being careful not to overfill it.

12

Fold the rice paper over the filling tightly halfway, then tuck in the ends to secure the filling inside the wrap.
