Prepare the prawn crackers
While the oil is heating, prepare the prawn crackers. If they are not pre-cut, slice them into smaller pieces (about 5 cm squares) to ensure even frying.
Frying

Fry the prawn crackers
Carefully add a handful of prawn crackers into the hot oil at a time. They will puff up quickly, so do not overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 30 seconds until they turn golden brown.

Remove and drain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried prawn crackers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
