Ingredients




570 mls groundnut oil
100 grams prawn crackers

Preparation

1 Heat the oil in a deep fat fryer or large wok until it is hot. 2 Test the oil to see if it is hot enough by dropping in one prawn cracker. 3 If it puffs up and floats immediately to the top then the oil is ready. 4 If not wait a few minutes more and test again. 5 Deep fry a handful of the prawn crackers. 6 Once they have puffed up scoop them out immediately with a slotted spoon and drain them on kitchen paper. 7 Then deep fry the rest a handful at time. 8 I have always had a fondness for crispy snacks especially prawn crackers. They are made from a combination of prawn meat starch salt and sugar which is pounded into a paste and then dried into hard round crisps. They are sold in many supermarkets and Chinese grocers and need only to be deepfried. Theyare terrific for serving with drinks. 9 Serves 4
