- 300g peeled green prawns
- 1 red capsicum, halved, deseeded, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow capsicum, halved, deseeded, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 55g (1 cup) bean sprouts

Instructions
Step 1
Place rice flour in a bowl. Whisk in egg and water until a smooth batter forms. Stir in garlic chives. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to rest.
Step 2
Meanwhile, to make the dressing, cook the sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat, tossing, for 2 minutes or until toasted. Whisk together sesame seeds, sweet chilli sauce, lime juice, soy sauce and vinegar in a small bowl.
Step 3
Preheat grill on high. Heat half the oil in a 25cm-diameter (base measurement) non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add half the prawns and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until prawns curl and change colour. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat with the remaining prawns.
Step 4
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan. Add the capsicum, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until just tender. Add the prawns, bean sprouts and green shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute or until shallot softens slightly. Pour in pancake batter and cook for 2-3 minutes or until pancake is golden brown underneath. Cook under grill for a further 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Transfer pancake to a chopping board and cut into wedges. Sprinkle with coriander and serve with dressing.
