Prawn Crackers
Sweet Chili Dip
Method
Prawn Crackers
Prepare for Frying
In a large, deep saucepan or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
Fry the Crackers
Carefully add a handful of dried prawn crackers to the hot oil. They will puff up quickly, so do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 30 seconds or until they are golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat
Continue frying the remaining prawn crackers in batches, ensuring the oil temperature remains consistent. Allow them to cool completely.
Sweet Chili Dip
Mix the Dip
In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce and fresh lime juice. Stir well to combine.
Garnish (Optional)
If desired, stir in the chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor and garnish.
