Click for larger image
Ingredients
  • 20 small prawns, washed
  • 275g self-raising flour
  • 60g rice flour
  • 1 small egg, lightly beaten
  • A handful of bean sprouts, tailed
  • 1 stalk spring onion, chopped
  • 1 green chilli, finely sliced
  • ½ an onion, finely sliced
  • 350ml water

    Seasoning:
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp chicken stock granules
  • ½ tsp sesame oil

  • Oil for deep-frying

    Method
    Sift both flours into a large mixing bowl and add seasoning. Add beaten egg and mix into a batter with water. Stir in bean sprouts, spring onion, chilli and onion then leave batter to stand for 30–40 minutes.

    Heat a metal ladle in hot oil for half a minute. Fill the hot ladle with 1½ tablespoons of the batter mixture. Place a prawn in the centre and press lightly down with a single chopstick.

    Lower the ladle into the hot oil and lightly bathe with oil. Deep-fry until the cucur turns light golden.

    Loosen the cucur from the ladle with the help of a small sharp knife. Let it cook further for a minute or until the cucur turns golden brown.

    Drain on absorbent kitchen paper towels. Serve the cucur with chilli coriander mayonnaise.
