Overview
A quintessential favourite Japanese dish, using our new Fish Free King Prawns, delicately battered and deep fried to crispy perfection – ideal for an entrée if entertaining, or a quick snack and it’s best to make the batter right before frying your defrosted Fish Free King Prawns.
Method
Sweet & Sour Sauce:
Add all the ingredients apart from the red pepper and spring onion, to a pan, cook over a moderate heat until thick and sticky, add the red pepper and spring onions and stir in until coated. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool.
Tempura Prawns:
Beat the egg in a bowl. Add the ice water, add sifted flour to the bowl and mix lightly, do not over mix. Heat the oil to 180°C, dip the prawns in the batter and carefully place in the hot oil, cook for 2 minutes, remove and drain excess oil.
