Method
Preparation
Prepare the Prawn Mixture
In a food processor, combine the prawn meat, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and the mixture forms a paste.
Combine Flours
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and rice flour. Mix well to ensure an even distribution.
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.
Shape the Dough
Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each portion into a long, thin log shape, about 1 cm in diameter.
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
Slice the Steamed Logs
Once cooled, slice the steamed logs into thin chips, approximately 2-3 mm thick.
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).
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.
Season (Optional)
While still warm, sprinkle with black pepper and chili powder to taste, if desired.
