Ingredients
ready to fry prawn crackers
oil for deep frying
Instructions
Heat oil for deep frying to 200C. Using tongs and working quickly, drop 1-2 ready to fry prawn crackers at a time into the oil and immediately push down into the oil so that they are completely covered. The prawn crackers will puff up and be fully cooked in just a few seconds. Remove from the oil with tongs or a slotted spoon, drain off any excess oil and set aside on kitchen paper. Repeat until you have as many cooked prawn crackers as you'd like.
The crispy prawn crackers will cool down and be ready to serve in just a few seconds. Serve your prawn crackers with your favourite Chinese takeaway style dishes. If you want to keep them or make ahead, put the cooked prawn crackers in a sealed plastic bag or sealed container to ensure they stay crispy. They’ll keep well for a couple of days at room temperature.
