Prawn Fritters
 

Ingredients

3 ½ cups of plain flour *

400ml water *

1 tsp salt *

5 gm yeast *

¼ cup of roughly chopped chives

2 handfuls of bean sprouts

15-12 medium size prawns (depending on how big you want your fritters are)

Enough vegetable oil to deep frying

Method

Mix all the * ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Once the batter smooth enough add in the chives and bean sprouts and mix them well. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for ½ an hour or until bubbles.

Heat oil in a wok over high heat and turn to medium heat once the oil hot enough.  Dip the ladle into the hot oil then pour batter into the hot ladle (it’s about half of the ladle) place the prawn on top of the batter and soak it in hot oil until it loose from the ladle. Repeat the same steps and you can cook about 4-5 pieces of fritters in a batch. Cook until the fritters golden brown and crisp enough.

Remove the cooked fritters and drain the excess oil using kitchen paper towel.
