=======================================
Recipe:
(Please download the recipe and read the full details at tasteasianfood... )
Ingredients:
200g prawn meat
100ml water
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
2 tsp peanut oil
300g tapioca starch
More peanut oil for frying
Method:
- Blend the prawn meat with the water mentioned to form a smooth shrimp paste.
- Put the tapioca starch in a large mixing bowl, then add the shrimp paste and salt, sugar, oil, and ground white pepper.
- Continue mixing all the ingredients until the starch has been incorporated thoroughly with the prawn meat to form a stiff dough.
- Shape the thick dough into a log. Grease a bread tin with oil then place the log of uncooked dough in it and steam it for fifty minutes.
- Remove the logs from the mold. Transfer it to a zip lock bag or wrap it with cling film and then keep it in the refrigerator overnight.
- Cut the block of hardened dough into thin slices with the Benriner mandoline.
- Place the prawn chips under the sun, single layers to sun-dry until thoroughly dry, which may take half a day or longer.
- Flip the crackers occasionally to ensure they are exposed to the sun on both sides.
- Heat the peanut oil to about 180°C/355°F. Place the uncooked prawn crackers into the hot oil. - The crackers will expand to several times larger than the original within a few seconds.
- Fish out the prawn crackers with a spider ladle. Drain them on paper towels or kitchen paper to remove the excess oil.

Thanks you for sharing I love your recipe ❤
I have tried to make crackers before (a different recipe) and they boiled the dough; rather than steaming. I have boiled the dough for up to 50 minutes and still end up with dough that is uncooked in the middle. Have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Did you get the solution for that?? I'm facing the same problem even though I cook it for 3 hrs.. If got solution.. Plis share

هل يمكنك أن تذكر لنا الفوائد الصحية في هذه الوصفه ؟ هل بها فيتامينات؟
Hi, cac add in 1 tbsp of baking powder in the resepi.
Q rico se puede sustituir porotro tipo de harina q no sea de tapioca????
Never heard of them. But I love shrimp wontons.
Mine, The middle portion of the dough is always uncooked when cut . I steam more than an hour and the dough i make is smaller than yours. Please help 😢😢😢.
It is harmless if you steam it longer to ensure it is fully cooked. The uncooked portion of the crackers will not expand fully during deep-frying.
Try using a bigger flame to steam and hope it is all well.
@@TasteofAsianFood thank you will try that.
Substitute to tapioca starch corn ??
Looks amazing will try it😻
Neat, very informative.
This is my favorite 😊
It's so easy to do. Thanks for sharing. One time/ thing happen...i forgot to slice it the next day. By the time i remember, the paste is crack. Is there any remedy? Please advise. Thanks.
I don't think you can reshape it. Go ahead to slice and hope there are not many broken pieces.
Can arrowroot starch be used along with tapioca starch to make make the dough. Also can the log be kept in freezer after it has cooled, can the chips be frozen. Would freezing log and chips have adverse on the end product? Thank you
Not sure about arrowroot starch.
It will become very hard after freezing and difficult to slice. The better way is the slice first, then air dry. You can keep the dried, raw pieces in an airtight container for a few months. The result is still good.
That was pretty impressive!
Can you use frozen shrimps to do this? Seeing as where i live there is never fresh shrimp available.
Yes
Is it ok if I use normal flour?
Amazin’…… I can eat a bucket load of these.. but prawns are too expensive nowadays to waste on making crackers
You not wasting it but eating it are you 😜🇺🇸🇲🇺🦤
Very nice n easy
❤Thanks❤
Any substitute for tapioca starch.? Can we use cornstarch
Unfortunately no
yes, yes, yessss !!!!
Fascinating.
Like
Good
Is that how fish crackers are also made?
Yes. Substitute prawn with fish meat.
