Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
1/2 cup rice flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp tumeric powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp chicken granules
1 cup water
1 1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup garlic chives - cut into 1 inch lengths
16 - 20 small shrimps
Oil for deep-frying
Method:
Combine the all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, rice flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, chicken granules and tumeric. and mix well.
Add water and oil to make a thin batter. Then stir in the chives and bean sprouts.
Heat the oil in medium heat. Place a small ladle in the oil to and heat until ladle is hot.. Then lift the ladle out from the oil and allowing excess oil to drip off.
Using the chopsticks, pick up a bunch of vegetables together with as much batter as possible on to the hot ladle. Put a piece of shrimp on to the center of the vegetables.and press it in. Lower the ladle into the oil, when the base of the fritter has formed a crust, it will dislodged by itself if the ladle is hot enoughto begin with, if it does not fall off, gently push it out of the ladle with the tip of a spatula or small knife and allow it to continue frying in the oil until golden brown.
Repeat until all the vegetables in the batter are done.
Drain fritters on paper towel. Cool slightly before serving with chilli sauce(recipe as follows)
Chilli Sauce
2 tbsp Siracha chilli sauce
3 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp sugar

We have a Filipino version of this. It used grated green papaya and annato seeds to color the batter. When I first settled here in the US there was hardly any Oriental stores selling produce. Now a days Oriental stores mushroomed in every corner so papaya is readily available but I am so used to bean sprouts that I favor them now more than grated green papaya. I used cut banana leaves to form my fritters and drop them in the vat of hot oil. When my fritters are cooked they slipped off from the banana leaves.
I make something similar but mainly with egg and bean sprouts. Thanks for sharing the recipes.
Lily, we look like having the same craving! :D I have just made fritters this morning for breakfast for a change. I added sliced runner beans and crab sticks. My hubby liked them very much. I love them with chili sauce...mmm. I miss these prawn fritters back home. Yours look delicious though.
I remember having this when I was little. A push-cart hawker sold this near our house!!!
Just made this...took your advice and subbed enoki mushrooms for the beansprouts, and yellow chives for the green ones. Had to add extra 75ml of water to make the batter thin. I have to make sure only a small amt of batter into the oil at a time. Lovely taste!! Thanks!!
Adding shredded potatoes is an interesting choice....nice!
this recipe looks delicious
Dear Lily,
Do you have the recipe for 马蹄酥 or 碰饼 that is commonly found in Malaysia/Singapore? Thanks.
regards,
Eileen
When I was young my mum always made me port mice with eggplant fry pie.
It looks similar with this one.
Hi, Aunty Lily,... I've tried this recipe yesterday.. it turns out really nice!! XD
I would like to ask for the Law Pak Koh (Radish cake) can i substitute the radish with red carrots?? .. Cause i'Ve got a whole packet of red carrots n dun know wut to with it.. i prefer using chinese recipes.. ^^
I saw my mom use a special type of prawn to make this, she told me is "pei hair", white prawn, the shell can be eaten.

i don't think red carrot is good for radish cake. use them in this cucur udang, acar needs alot of carrot.
i hope readers of this tread can give you more suggestions.
I had something simliar with this dish the other day.But was a janpanese restarunt which the prawn was in it. My bf ask me why make it crispy and then threw them in the soup..:p
