We always get Prawn Crackers when ordering a Chinese TakeAway - but they're not actually Chinese. They're more Vietnamese than Chinese!
You can buy uncooked prawn crackers from most Asian/Oriental/Chinese supermarkets (I get mine from here in Northampton) or you can even buy them from places like eBay or Amazon...
Portions: 1-100 the more you cook, the more you'll have to eat!
Ingredients
- Groundnut Oil (or Vegetable Oil)
- Uncooked Prawn Crackers
Equipment
- Wok or Saucepan deep enough to fry the crackers in (need approx 5cm (2") deep oil)
- Something to safely remove the cooked prawn crackers from the wok/pan
- Plate or bowl with kitchen roll on it to soak up any dripping oil
Instructions
- Heat up the oil to around 180°
- Place a few of the prawn crackers at a time in to the hot oil
- Wait for them to expand and then flip them over
- Remove them from the pan and place in a bowl or a plate lined with kitchen roll
- Wait for them to cool before eating else they will be chewy!


Serving Suggestion(s)
Serve with any Chinese TakeAway style meal or enjoy on their own!
