Preparation

Prepare the Prawn Mixture
In a food processor, combine the prawn meat, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and the mixture forms a paste.

Combine Flours
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and rice flour. Mix well to ensure an even distribution.

Mix Ingredients
Gradually add the prawn paste to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is pliable.

Shape the Dough
Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a long, thin log shape, about 1 cm in diameter.
