Prawn Crackers

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely minced prawn meat, tapioca flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth and thick dough forms.

  3. 3

    Shape the Crackers

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin log or sausage shape. Aim for about 1 cm in diameter.

  4. 4

    Steam the Logs

    Place the shaped logs in a steamer and steam for about 20 minutes, or until they are firm and cooked through. Remove from the steamer and allow to cool completely.

  5. 5

    Slice the Logs

    Once cooled, slice the logs into thin discs, about 2-3 mm thick.

  6. 6

    Fry the Crackers

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the sliced crackers in batches until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per batch.

  7. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Remove the fried crackers from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Allow to cool completely before serving.
