Chinese Deep Fried Prawn 中式炸虾球

This recipe is similar to my Crispy Fried Fish Fillet recipe, using only a basic combination of flour and some simple seasoning. Fresh prawns have natural sweetness, therefore there's no need to add MSG or chicken powder to the seasoning/ batter. Deep fry at the right temperature, these deep-fried prawns are juicy on the inside, the outer crusts are crispy, even the prawn tails can be eaten. ;)

Ingredients:
材料

6 Prawns 大虾 6只


(A)

1/4 tsp Garlic Salt 蒜盐 1/4 小匙
(can be replaced with crushed garlic and salt 可以用蒜茸和盐取代）

1/4 tsp Sesame Oil 麻油 1/4 小匙

Dash of White Pepper 胡椒粉 适量

1/4 tsp Shao Xing Hua Tiao Cooking Wine 绍兴花雕酒 1/4 小匙


(B)

45g All Purpose Flour 中筋面粉 45g

*1/2 tsp Baking Powder 发粉 1/2 小匙

* I usually use baking powder. However, this can be replaced with double-acting baking powder, the batter will expand more. 也可以用双倍发粉，会膨胀更大。

1 tbsp Potato Flour 薯粉 1 汤匙

1/8 tsp Salt 盐 1/8 小匙


(C)

1/2 tbsp Sesame Oil/ Cooking Oil 麻油/ 菜油 1/2 汤匙

65g Cold Water 冷水 65g
