Prawn Cracker Dough
Frying
Method
Preparing the Dough
- 1
Process the Prawn Meat
Place the prawn meat in a food processor and blend until a smooth paste forms.
- 2
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the prawn paste, tapioca flour, water, salt, sugar, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until a consistent dough forms.
- 3
Shape the Dough
Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- 4
Form into Logs
Shape the dough into small logs, approximately 1-2 inches in diameter, and wrap each log tightly in plastic wrap.
- 5
Steam the Logs
Place the wrapped logs in a steamer and steam for about 30 minutes until they are firm and cooked through.
- 6
Cool and Slice
Remove the logs from the steamer, let them cool, and then slice them into thin discs (about 2-3mm thick).
Frying the Crackers
- 7
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
- 8
Fry the Crackers
Carefully drop a few sliced crackers into the hot oil. Fry them in batches, as they will puff up quickly. Fry until they turn golden brown (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
- 9
Drain and Cool
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried crackers from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 10
Serve
Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving. They can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
