Giant Prawn Tempura Wraps with Spicy Yoghurt Dressing

38 comments
Look at this menu! Why on earth did I make giant prawn tempura with bacon, tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), spiced rice, cheese, etc to fill a wrap?



Well, maybe this kind of sandwich wrap is nothing extraordinary for some of you, but for me it is. It's something special. I would never have made such a festive wrap just for lunch. So what's the big fuss then?? Well... it's because I am now one of those BATTLE SANDWICH contestants hosted by DoggyBloggy from ChezWhat? (I feel as if that I am in Iron Chef now ;)). The theme of the 'battle' is Sandwich - which means that you have to create a unique kind of sandwich. I thought about making sushi sandwich with rice (Well..., it's the sushi fanatic in me !;)), but Doggybloggy told me that it had to be something with bread/dough. I am absolutely not a sandwich person - don't get me wrong, I like eating sandwiches, but only when other people make them for me...! How many times have I made a sandwich myself in my life? 5 times? 6 times? So the battle's theme is actually really something quite challenging for me. However, I decided to participate in this 'Culinary Smackdown' because I wanted the challenge, I wanted to create and make something different. The last two years I had been so boring and even unproductive in the kitchen - even my husband has complained about it. I had mostly been making the same things over and over again: pasta, soup, rice, delivery service, noodles pasta, soup, delivery service ;)! Well, still better than my husband's Uncle Ben's instant curry right from the glass ;).





SO! This is a competition, but I didn't want to focus too much on creating something fancy. Indeed I wanted to create something unusual, but the sandwich had to include things I like. I didn't get too further away from my original idea of sushi sandwich - my favourite filling for a sushi roll is prawn tempura, so I decided to use prawn tempura for my wrap - but the giant ones :). Well, 'giant' is probably quite exaggerating, they're actually not really big, but long. I used bamboo skewers to make these 'giant' prawn tempura.



Let's look at the ingredients for the wrap filling in the detail
  • Giant prawn tempura
  • Spicy rice (with chopped onions, chicken stock, parmesan, a bit of Kimchi juice and green onions)
  • Cheese
  • Red Onion
  • Tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet) with bacon
  • Bacon
  • Lettuce
  • Chili peppers
  • Spicy avocado yohurt dressing






I love this spicy yoghurt dressing! And I happen to like the picture above too! I don't usually make very good photos...:)




Recipe for this fabulous and super easy-to-make dressing :)!

Spicy Avocado-Yoghurt Dressing
  • 250 g yoghurt
  • 2 tbs Sriracha chili sauce
  • 1 tbs garlic sauce
  • 1 tbs dried majoram
  • 1/2 tbs Maggi/Knorr chicken bouillon granules
  • 1/2 tbs sugar
  • 1/2 avocado, chopped
You can also add cocktail sauce to this dressing if you want, even sambal oelek, as it's going to add an extra spicy kick.



  1. First add the spiced rice to the tortilla, spread the dressing on top and add the chili peppers.
  2. Add cheese and red onion rings.
  3. Add slices of bacon and green onions.
  4. Add the bacon-omelet.
  5. Add lettuce and prawn tempura.
  6. Wrap it!




I wouldn't bother adding a calorie counter for this recipe. I don't even want to look at it! After eating this, I didn't eat for the rest for the day! Look at those bacon slices...!! So, DoggyBloggy, make sure that I win ;)!




Well, no, it's worth it, even if I didn't win, this competition has made me make something gorgeous-looking and drool-worthy....;D Hahaha...



Nom, nom, nom...!!!




Make sure that I win!!



You can even take a peek at my super-cute (and super-greedy!) bunny nomming watermelon ;)! He wants me to win too...!

  15. @ Everyone - Thank you for all your kind words and support!http://www.amazon.de

    @ Monica - The watermelon was only a treat, rabbits are not allowed to eat too much fruit, but when they get some they're so incredibly grateful. This bunny on the picture is particularly greedy, he eats everything....;)! Especially when it's sweet and juicy! I am so sorry for your bunny, August was such an adorable bunny....:(.
