Extremely easy to cook and less time-consuming, they are a perfect serving as a starter or a side dish. And who doesn’t love juicy, succulent prawns along with a sweet and tangy sauce with their fav drink on the side?
1 ½ cup cornflour 1 ½ cup plain flour 1 egg, lightly beaten 150 ml beer 1 kg king prawns, washed and shells removed 50 grams plain flour Vegetable oil, for deep frying ½ cup soy sauce 2 tbsp sugar Mirin (optional)
For the batter, sift the cornflour and plain flour together into a medium mixing bowl.
Make a well in the centre and add the beaten egg and beer and whisk till it's combined well.
Keep the batter for a few minutes in a cool place. Heat the oil in a deep-bottomed pan.
Pour some flour on a plate and cover the prawns well. Dip the prawns in the batter and carefully deep fry.
Remove the prawns and drain excess oil on kitchen paper. For the sauce, add the sugar and mirin to the soy sauce and mix well till combined.
Serve hot with the sauce and your favourite beverage.
