METHOD

• FOR THE SAMBAL CHILLI PASTE
• 1. Cook the shrimp paste until dry and fragrant by chopping up the pieces with your spatula (about 15 min to release the fragrance).
• 2. Blend all of the ingredients together into a paste.
• 3. Use as fresh chilli paste or fry with oil to keep for 1 week in the fridge in an airtight container.
• 
  
• FOR THE HAE BEE HIAM FILLING
• 1. Heat the vegetable oil in the pan until it starts to smoke at high heat.
• 2. Fry the shallots until transparent then add the garlic and fry until they turn brown.
• 3. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the sambal chilli paste into the pan to fry.
• 4. Add Nuvia sweetener to taste.
• 5. Finally, add all the dry ingredients to fry until the mixture is fragrant and dry.
• 
  
• FOR THE ROLLS
• 1. Slice the spring roll skin into squares. For bite-size rolls, slice the skin into 5 cm. I would suggest 7 cm as the maximum size.
• 2. Place a small amount of hae bee hiam filling in the middle across the spring roll skin.
• 3. In a diamond orientation, roll in the bottom, sides and then top of the spring roll skin to create a prawn roll. Option: to seal with an egg wash before frying in the air fryer.
• 4. Air fry at 200 degrees celsius, duration varies with the sizes. For 5cm rolls, it will take about 6 to 8 minutes, and for 7cm rolls, it will take about 12 to 14 minutes.
