Ingredients
- 500 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 150 grams rice flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 180 ml sparkling water, chilled
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Gradually add the chilled sparkling water to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you get a smooth batter. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (356°F). Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature.
Step 5
Dip each prawn into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, and gently place it into the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the prawns in batches, without overcrowding the pan, for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the prawns with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
