Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the fish strips dry and season with turmeric, ginger, garlic, and fish sauce; marinate 15 minutes in the fridge.
2
Pickle
Toss julienned carrot with rice vinegar and sugar; set aside until slightly translucent, about 10 minutes.
3
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear fish strips 2–3 minutes per side until opaque and edges crisp.
4
Assemble
Chop the hard-boiled egg and mix with lentils and half the dill and cilantro. Dip rice paper in warm water 5–10 seconds until pliable; lay flat and layer fish, egg-lentil mix, pickled carrot, remaining herbs, scallion, and peanuts across centre.
5
Plate
Roll the wrapper tightly from bottom up into a closed cylinder, pressing gently to hold together. Serve with lime juice mixed with sugar as a dipping sauce.
