I bought some prawns for a very reasonable price from the local mall recently and froze them for use in the still on going Chinese New Year celebrations.Prawns are considered a very auspicious dish to serve during this time as the way the name came out in our dialects, they sound like laughter...:) That aside, we all love prawns here and they are always welcomed no matter what the ocassion is. This is a very popular dish served even at restaurants and they usually cost a lot. Much cheaper to cook at home:)
I googled and found this recipe in Kitchen Tigress's blog where she showed a video on how to cook this delicious dish. Her recipe is for a small amount of prawns so adjust the ingredients accordingly if you have more prawns:)
Ingredients:
Cereal mix
¾ cup Nestum cereal (original flavour)
½ tsp salt
1½ tsp sugar
1½ tbsp milk powder
vegetable oil for deep-frying
Add prawns and toss till well mixed, turning off heat as cereal turns fully golden brown. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Plate and serve.
Too anxious to taste the prawns, so didn't take many photos:P
