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)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Dip each prawn into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the prawns from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
After frying, sprinkle the prawns with a touch of lemon juice for added flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
