Ingredients

Serves :
  • 3/4 cup self-raising flour


  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper


  • 1 teaspoon salt


  • 1 egg


  • Canola oil, for deep-frying


  • 1/2 cup cornflour


  • 1kg green prawns, peeled, deveined, tails left intact


  • 1 tablespoon canola oil


  • 1/3 cup honey


  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted (see note)


  • Steamed SunRice Brown Medium Grain Rice, to serve

Directions

  • Sift flour and pepper into a large bowl. Stir in salt. Using a fork, beat 1 cup water and egg in a jug until well combined. Pour into flour, stirring to form a smooth batter.
  • Half-fill a saucepan with oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Place cornflour in a shallow dish. Lightly coat prawns in cornflour, shaking off excess. Holding by the tail, dip prawns, 1 at a time, into batter to coat. Carefully drop prawns, 4 or 5 at a time, in hot oil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining prawns and batter.
  • Combine oil and honey in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add prawns. Toss until well coated. Spoon onto plates. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with rice.
