Prawn betel leaf wraps
This popular Thai street food can also be found in Laos. Designed to be eaten in a single bite, each wrap contains a sweet, salty, sour, spicy and crunchy filling of tamarind sauce, chopped raw onion, ginger, chilli and crushed peanuts. This dish is sometimes also presented deconstructed for people to make their own wraps. There are versions with dried prawns or chopped fried fish, but we’ve used cooked prawns.
