CEREAL BUTTER PRAWNS (麦片虾)
(Recipe for 2-4 persons)
Cereal mix
¾ cup Nestum cereal (original flavour)
½ tsp salt
1½ tsp sugar
1½ tbsp milk powder
300 g medium size prawns (8 pieces)
trim, devein, wash, and dry thoroughly
1 tsp salt
½ egg, beaten
1½ tbsp plain flour
vegetable oil for deep-frying
30 g unsalted butter (2 tbsp)
1 bird's eye chilli, thinly sliced
6-10 sprigs curry leaves
rinse and dry with paper towels; discard stalks to yield about 1/8 cup
Thoroughly stir ingredients for cereal mix. Set aside.
Sprinkle prawns with salt. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle with flour and mix till coated. Deep-fry in just smoking oil over maximum heat possible till just cooked. Drain.
Heat butter till bubbling and lightly brown. Add curry leaves and chilli. Fry over medium heat till fragrant.
Reduce heat to low. Add cereal mix. Stir till lightly golden. Curry leaves should crisp up as excess moisture is absorbed by cereal.
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.
