Nahm Jim Mayonnaise
Steps
1
For the nahm jim mayonnaise, use a mortar and pestle to pound the garlic and chillies to a rough paste. Then, using the pestle, stir in the sugar, fish sauce and lime juice. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir through the coriander and mayonnaise. Set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.
2
Heat the peppercorns in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat until just smoking. Transfer to a mortar and use a pestle to grind to a fine powder. Stir in the salt.
3
Heat enough oil in a wok or large heavy-based saucepan for deep frying. Check the oil is hot enough by dipping in a wooden spoon. When bubbles form around the spoon the oil is ready.
4
Combine the plain and rice flours in a large bowl. Pat dry the prawns with paper towel. Then dredge in the flour and shake to remove any excess. Slide coated prawns into the oil and cook for about 3 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel. While the prawns are warm, place them in a large bowl and toss with 1 tbsp of your salt and pepper mix. Serve with nahm jim mayonnaise.
