- Prawn fritters are known as 'cucur udang' or 'jemput jemput udang' in Malaysia and Singapore. These easy fried prawn snack is a typical Malay street vendor speciality. The best cucur udang is crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. That is the cucur udang we love!

Cucur udang are prawn fritters which are commonly sold in by Malay street vendors in Malaysia and Singapore. These golden prawn fritters are enjoyed for breakfast up till tea time. Cucur udang are eaten with some sweet and spicy chilli sauce or are added as an ingredient. At [mamak eateries](www.nyonyacooking.com/magazin..., cucur udang are added to 'rojak' (local salad) or 'mee goreng' (fried noodles). When prawn fritters are used in [Mee goreng mamak](www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes..., it adds delicious fluffy texture to the noodle dish. This recipe will yield a plate of crispy on the sides and yet fluffy in the inside prawn fritters without extreme flavours of prawns. The taste is guaranteed!
Crispy cucur udang
Oil used to fry cucur udang needs to be at the right temperature or the batter will be soaking the oil instead of frying them. The result will be soggy prawn fritters. Once pan is heated up over medium heat, pour oil enough to cover at least half of the fried prawn fritters. Test the temperature of the oil using wooden chopsticks or skewers. When the oil is ready, small bubbles will appear around the dipped chopsticks or skewer.
The other tip is to use a flat ladle to spoon and fry the batter. Thus the sides will be thinner and fried crispy on the sides while having the centre soft and fluffy.
Type of prawns
A whole shrimp or prawn is usually added at the top of each batter of cucur udang for frying. It's common to have the whole shrimp/prawn including its shell and head. The shell and head provides lots of flavour to the dish. They can be eaten along with the fritters without being removed. Traditionally, smaller shrimps or prawns such as North Atlantic Pink Shrimps are used whereby its shell and head are much softer. In this recipe, medium sized prawns are used without shell or the head as we do not enjoy eating them.
Cucur udang sauce
Prawn fritters are best served with sweet and mildly spicy chilli sauce. [Thai chilli sauce](www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes...) would be the best combination!
How to store cucur udang
After frying, cucur udang can be eaten immediately or left to cool at room temperature. If you plan to use it in [Mee goreng mamak](www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes..., fried cucur udang can be kept in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Refrigerated fried prawn fritters can be heated up in a microwave.
If you plan to prepare cucur udang in advanced, fry the batter without placing a whole prawn on top until 50% cooked. The centre of the cucur udang should be still soft. When removed from oil, leave to cool at room temperature. Press a prawn or shrimp into the half fried cucur udang to freeze up till 3 months. Frozen cucur udang can be fried without the need to thaw.

Prawn fritters!!! Very Rich and taste
Emak makes these but bite sized with cut up udang. This recipe looks easy enough for me to make and beautiful cucur.
Heh Grace…thanks!…plan to do this ‘cucuk udang’ this wkend.
Like your other recipes, perfect first time. Big hit with all the family.
Thank you!!! Share with us this a food snap too. That would do us a big favour
Wah! This is so yummy 😋
Looks really nice. Have been looking for this recipe. Thanks n will try out soon.
Hi Grace , thank you for this video, being a peranakan yourself , i wondered if you had tried slated fish achar , i remember my third aunt used to make for everyone and was kept in a bottle and serve with rice whenever needed, i can get the vegetable archar everywhere but this i cannot seem to find
Look like bakwan udang😍
Hi, another great video. By the way, have you been to Kuching or Pontianak? I love the food there. Cucur udang in Kuching is really good with a sweet chilli sauce.
Love it👍, thanks for sharing. I prefer the prawn with shells on for looks n small pieces of prawn in the flour for taste n texture 👍
I think it looks best with the shell too :D
Much better than spring rolls.
Something looks good, what’s going on here, it’s looks so tasty.😋❤️
Thank you very much Grace for sharing, you’re so adorable.
Welcome! Do give it a try!
These look really easy to do so thank you...I'm an Indian cook mainly and there are similar prawn fritters there but they're a pain to make...I might serve these with some tamarind or green chutney YUMMY :-)
That would certainly work. Normally we serve it with a sweet chilli sauce. I can imagine tamarind or green chutney being a good combination!
Looks so yummy!!
Yes!! Please try!
Not only in Malaysia or Singapore,it's also available in Brunei Darussalam
To add color to the batter, try adding a few whole prawns, with shell heads n tails on,
bring out the red color after frying, but must clean the tail and head properly. Just like eating wade.
Aunty Anne
That's true Aunty Anne! On the recipe, I've suggested the type of prawn to use where the shell is softer. www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/cucur-udang-mamak~HJ_4XBuK7 ;)
Bakwan or Heci😄
Excellent - I must try once I can find the dried prawn on line which is allowed to be shipped to Ireland. I have never seen dried prawn here. Most wonderful spices and Asian ingredients are difficult to source here in rural West Cork.
I can imagine. Any luck online?
You can buy it at big supermarkets/ Chinese shops
Actually u can skip the dried prawn if u don't remove the head from the prawn. The head is full of prawn flavor.
I make today and its so nice, thank you so much dear 😊😘
Great to hear, Carrien! Do you have a photo? If you do, upload it to your Nyonya Cooking profile!

Can you teach us how to prawn fritters like the ngoh hiang stall, thank you so much.
Hey thanks for the request. Feel free to submit it on the website so we get to track the requests and update you once it is done :D
Is it OK to skip sugar & yeast water? Prefer plain water. If so, can I use wheat powder adding baking powder?
Nope, yeast is needed in this recipe for the fluffy texture known in cucur udang. And sugar is required to activate the yeast.
is it a must to add onion into this recipe
No it's just personal preference. You can add anything you want because you are a chef my friend.
nice thank you :)
@@commonman3972 Agree with @muhd azwan ;) If you don't like it, just skip the ingredient :D
Again and again I don’t have notifications from you 🤔
Hey Laura, could you please contact support@nyonyacooking.com? I will get someone to check and rectify this issue. Thanks!
I don't have dried shrimp and is not available here so can I skip it out for this recipe???

Otherwise you can chop some fresh prawns for extra prawn flavours. :)
