Instructions
 

Tempura Prawns

  • Deshell prawns and remove sand veins.
  • Cut the belly side in 1 cm intervals, half way down the prawns.
  • Stretch prawns to make them longer along these cuts, but do not break prawns.
  • Dip into flour, set aside.
  • Roughly add the iced water together with some crushed ice to the flour, do not mix thoroughly. Some flour should still be visible.
  • The oil must be super hot, because your batter is ice cold.
  • From a low height, drop down some batter. You should get tempura bits.
  • Dip the prawns into the batter and then into the hot oil, it takes just 1/2 minute to cook.
  • Drain and arrange on plate or in the noodles.

Noodles

  • Add the noodles and cook till al dente.
