Prawn Cracker Ingredients
Method
Preparation and Cooking Instructions
- 1
Step 1: Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a heavy-bottomed pot, pour in 500ml of vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil's readiness by dropping in a small piece of prawn cracker; it should sizzle immediately.

Step 2: Fry the Prawn Crackers
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a handful of prawn crackers to the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan as this will lower the oil temperature. Fry the crackers for about 30 seconds or until they puff up and turn golden brown.

Step 3: Drain Excess Oil
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried prawn crackers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil and keep them crispy.

Step 4: Repeat the Process
Continue frying the remaining prawn crackers in batches, ensuring the oil temperature remains constant. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 5: Cool and Serve
Once all the prawn crackers are fried and drained, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Serve them as a crispy snack or appetizer without any sauce.
