This Asian-inspired recipe actually takes longer to prep than actually cook, and it couldn’t be easier to put together on short notice!
Rice flour, often used in Asian recipes, makes very light pancakes. Prawn, cayenne, jalapeño and the smooth yet tangy mayo makes this almost like a fushion cuisine dish for us. Double this recipe for a family meal, or keep it as a light meal for two with a crisp glass of white.

FOR THE MAYO
- 1 tbsp gochujang chilli paste

Instructions
