Rambutan Prawn ~ A refreshing appetizer

 

In these hot summer days, how about addidng some fruit in your food, thats what I thought when I was trying out this new dish. It actually taste quite refreshing with a taste of sweetness and sourness, a perfect dish as appetizer....

 

 

Maybe next time I should try it with other fruits, like strawberry.. mango...lychee and etc...

 

Ingredients
12pcs Rambutan (You can use canned or other fresh fruits)

300g Prawn

few pieces of red & green chilli padi

1 tsp of minced garlic

1 egg

1/2 cup corn flour

 

Marinade for prawn

a pinch of salt

1 tsp corn flour

1 tbsp white egg

sesame oil and pepper

 

Seasoning

1/3 cup of water

1 tbsp of white vinegar

1/4 tsp of salt

1 1/2 tbsp of sugar

1/2 tsp of corn flour

 

Direction:

1. Peel the prawn head and shell away except for the tail. Cut the prawn into half before the tail (like a letter Y) and set aside.

2. Marinade the prawn for around 10-15 min.

3. Once they are marinade, dip the prawn into the beaten egg and then coat it with corn flour. Do this one by one.
