Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup rice flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 cup sparkling water, chilled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Gradually add chilled sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still fluid.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Dip each prawn into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil.
Fry the prawns in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and the prawns are cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the prawns from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
After frying, sprinkle the prawns with a touch of lemon juice for added flavor.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
