Fried Salted Prawns Recipe(Malaysian Recipe) |
Ingredients: Serves 4 |
600g large prawns, washed, feelers and legs trimmed but unpeeled 750ml water 3 teaspoons salt 1 rounded (heaped) teaspoon five-spice powder 1 egg white, lightly beaten ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper cooking oil for deep-frying Ingredients to be sifted together: 2 tablespoons corn flour (cornstarch) 1 tablespoon rice flour 1 tablespoon plain flour ¼ teaspoon five-spice powder a pinch of ground white pepper Garnishing: ½ cucumber, peeled if desired and sliced 1 tomato, sliced coriander leaves (cilantro) |
Method: Put cleaned prawns into a bowl and add 750ml or just enough water to cover prawns. Stir in 3 teaspoons salt and five-spice powder. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Drain and dry prawns with a clean tea towel, then mix with egg white, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. With sifted ingredients already combined in a bowl, dip in prawns to coat thoroughly. Deep-fry coated prawns until golden brown. Serve garnished. Instead of dipping prawns into sifted flour mixture, prawns can be placed on a flat tray and have combined flour mixture carefully sifted over. Turn prawns over and sift on more flour mixture to coat completely. |
