- In the same wok, fry the dried prawns, shallot, garlic, onion, cili padi and seasoning. Add the fried curry leaves, dried chillies and prawns. Toss well before dishing out. Set aside.
- Put the batter mix in a large re-sealable bag. Toss the chicken in. Seal the bag and shake well to ensure chicken slices are well coated with the batter. Set aside for about an hour.
- Heat enough oil in a wok and deep fry the marinated chicken pieces until golden brown or cooked through. Remove and toss together with the cili padi, spring onion, black pepper and chilli powder. Set aside.
- Trim the base off the mushrooms and separate them.
- In a large bowl, mix the batter ingredients together.
- Heat enough oil in a wok for deep frying. Dust the enoki stalks with some plain flour.
- Using chopsticks or thongs, pick up some enoki and dip them into the batter before dropping into the hot oil.
- Deep fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove to drain on paper towels to remove any oil.
- Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick pan. Sauté garlic, ginger and cili padi. Add the enoki fritters and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Lastly, toss with the spring onion.
