Prawn Crackers - Chinese TakeAway Style

on

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

  1. Heat up the oil to around 180°
  2. Place a few of the prawn crackers at a time in to the hot oil
     


  3. Wait for them to expand and then flip them over


  4. Remove them from the pan and place in a bowl or a plate lined with kitchen roll
  5. 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!
