23rd June – Fried prawns in batter with soy sauce stir fried vegetables

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 1 pack of cooked king prawns
  • 50-100g of golden bread crumbs
  • 50-100g of flour
  • 1-2 eggs – lightly whisked
  • 1/2 teaspoon of chilli flakes
  • 2 cloves of garlic – sliced
  • Pack of stir fry vegetables
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 4-6 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • Vegetable oil for cooking the battered prawns
  • 1 pack of egg noodles

Get 3 bowls and place the flour in one, the breadcrumbs another and whisked eggs in the last.  Mix the chilli flakes in with the breadcrumbs.  Take each prawn and first dip it into the flour and then into the egg mix, then into the breadcrumbs and then back into the egg mix and back into the breadcrumbs.  Do these five steps for each prawn until you’ve done them all.  Wash your hands once done.

Heat about 1cm of vegetable oil in a pan until hot and carefully place the prawns into the oil in batches so as to not overcrowd the oil.  Turn the prawns over in the oil once golden brown.  Remove the prawns from the oil and place on kitchen paper to drain off the oil.  Repeat this until all of the prawns are cooked.

While the prawns are cooking, put some olive oil into a large pan or wok and add the garlic for a few seconds before adding in the stir fry vegetables.  Stir fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they just start to lose their crunch.  Pour over the soy sauce and add the egg noodles to the stir fried vegetables.  Continue to cook the stir fry until done, adding a little more soy sauce if you prefer.

Serve up the stir fried vegetables and noodles and place a serving of the fried prawns over the top.  You can top it with some sweet chilli sauce if you like.  Enjoy!
