Method
-
Beat the eggs, strain them, then leave to rest for 2 hours. Heat a tiny amount of oil in a 22cm frying pan. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of egg into the pan to make a thin, stringy pancake. Repeat until you have 8 pancakes, adding more oil if necessary. Set aside.
-
For the caramel sauce, pound the garlic, coriander roots and ginger in a mortar and pestle to form a thick paste. In a heavy-based pan, heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and fry the paste until light brown and caramelised. Add the palm sugar and allow to melt. Add the coconut and bring up to a simmer. Remove from the heat, add the water and fish sauce. Cool.
-
For the relish, combine the sugar and vinegar in a pan. Dissolve the sugar, then bring gently up to the boil. Cool. Distribute the other relish ingredients between 4 dishes and pour over the sweet vinegar.
-
Heat the remaining teaspoon of oil in a wok. When hot, stir-fry the prawns until cooked. Remove. Add the pork to the pan and stir-fry until cooked. Let both cool, then mix with the other filling ingredients and the coconut paste.
-
Distribute the filling mix between the pancakes and fold over. Serve 2 pancakes on each plate with the relish.
