Prawn Crackers
Method
Preparation
- 1
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced prawn meat, tapioca flour, water, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until you achieve a smooth and consistent dough.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic and well combined.
- 3
Shape the Dough
Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin log, about 1 cm in diameter. Ensure the logs are uniform to ensure even cooking.
- 4
Steam the Logs
Place the logs in a steamer and steam them for about 20-25 minutes until they are firm and cooked through. Allow them to cool completely.
- 5
Slice the Logs
Once cooled, slice the logs into thin chips, about 2-3 mm thick.
Frying
- 6
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
- 7
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a few prawn chips into the hot oil. Fry them in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. They will puff up quickly.
- 8
Drain and Cool
Once the chips are golden brown, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Allow them to cool completely before serving.
