Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tbsp corn flour

    Batter:
  • 150g plain flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

    Make a slit at the back of the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper towels. Marinate prawns in marinade for 10–15 minutes.
