This variation transforms the famous appetizer into a complete meal by pairing the signature creamy, spicy prawns with cool rice vermicelli noodles. The contrast between the hot, crispy shrimp and the refreshing, crunchy vegetables makes this a perfect balance of textures and temperatures.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha until smooth. Set this sauce aside.
Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions (usually soaking in boiling water for 3-5 minutes), then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Pat the prawns dry with paper towels, then toss them in the cornstarch until they are evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the prawns for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towel.
Transfer the hot prawns to a mixing bowl and toss them with half of the prepared sauce until fully coated.
Divide the cold noodles, cucumber, carrot, and cilantro between two serving bowls.
Top the salad bowls with the sticky bang bang prawns, drizzle with the remaining sauce, garnish with green onions, and serve with lime wedges.
