Steps

  • Mix shrimps, beansprouts, lemongrass, and galangal in a bowl.
  • Whisk tamarind paste, soy sauce, and sake together, then stir into the shrimp mixture.
  • Stir in chilli, coriander, and white pepper, adding palm sugar if the mixture is too sharp.
  • Brush a wrapper with beaten egg, fill with shrimp mixture, and roll tightly like a cigar.
  • Heat oil in a heavy pan until a breadcrumb sizzles and browns.
  • Fry rolls in batches until golden brown and hot inside.
  • Grind garlic, ginger, chillies, and sugar to a paste, then mix with lime juice and fish sauce.
  • Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
  • Serve spring rolls on a bed of watercress with both dipping sauces.
