For the dipping sauce, combine the remaining water with lime juice, soy sauce, vinegar, and honey. Then, add one crushed garlic, sliced lemongrass, and chillies.
In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil with one crushed garlic and sliced spring onions. Then, add the prawns and cook until browned.
Set up the steamer, bring water to a boil, and pour the rice batter in shallow bowls.
Then, cover and steam for 5 minutes or until the cakes are firm.
Top the rice cakes with the prawns and chopped spring onions, and serve them with the dipping sauce.
