Ingredients:
700g large green prawns, peeled, tails
intact
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 1/4 cups cornflour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/2 cup chilled water
1/3 cup honey
fried vermicelli noodles (see note), to serve
Method:
Using a sharp knife, cut prawns along back
from top to tail. Remove vein.
Place sesame seeds in a small, non-stick frying pan over high heat.
Cook, shaking pan, for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a plate.
Half-fill a wok with oil. Heat over medium-high heat until hot.
Meanwhile, place cornflour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in centre.
Add egg and chilled water. Whisk with a fork until just combined.
Dip prawns, 1 at a time, into batter and carefully drop into hot oil.
Deep-fry 3 to 4 at a time, carefully turning with a slotted spoon,
for 3 to 4 minutes or until batter is crisp and light-golden.
Transfer to a wire rack over a tray lined with paper towel to drain.
Heat honey in a non-stick frying pan over low heat for 1 minute or until runny.
Place fried noodles on serving plates and top with prawns.
Spoon warm honey over prawns and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve.
Note:
To make fried noodles, cut dried vermicelli into 5cm lengths.
Deep-fry in hot oil until puffed. Drain on paper towel.
