Preparation

Step 1

Add a teaspoon of salt to the prawns and rub and coat well.
Rinse, drained and dab dry.
Put aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in pot.
Mix batter well and add in chive and bean sprout.
Dip ladle in oil then scoop about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon batter to the ladle.
Place 3 baby prawns on the batter.
Add a little batter on top if you have problems sticking the prawns.
Sink the ladle in the oil. Use another ladle or spoon to push the batter out if necessary.
Fry till lightly golden brown then flip over to fry the other side.
Once the fritter has turned lightly golden brown, remove and drain on paper towel.
Repeat till all batter has finished.
Serve hot with your favourite sauce.


Note:

Add the water to make batter gradually, if you find the batter too thick, add a bit more water.
If you are not able to get baby prawns, which the shells are thinner, hence we are able to fried till crispy, use regular small prawns but peel them.
You can cut the prawns into 2 of you find it still too big.
Mix it with the batter to be fried.
Do not place it on the batter like what I did with the baby prawns as it does not have the shells to prevent it from drying out from frying.
