Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Prawn Mixture

In a food processor, combine the prawn meat, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and the mixture forms a paste.

2

Combine Flours

In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and rice flour. Mix well to ensure an even distribution.

3

Mix Ingredients

Gradually add the prawn paste to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is pliable.

4

Shape the Dough

Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a long, thin log shape, about 1 cm in diameter.

5

Steam the Logs

Place the logs on a steaming tray lined with parchment paper. Steam them for about 20 minutes until firm. Let them cool.

Frying

6

Slice the Steamed Logs

Once cooled, slice the steamed logs into thin chips, approximately 2-3 mm thick.

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 Chips

Carefully add a few chips to the hot oil. Fry until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 30-60 seconds. Remove and drain on paper towels.

9

Season (Optional)

While still warm, sprinkle with black pepper and chili powder to taste, if desired.
