Step 1

Heat up the oil in a pot or wok up to at least 165 degrees Celsius or 330 degrees Fahrenheit. If you do not have a suitable thermometer, wait for 5 to 6 minutes until the oil is hot enough.

Step 2

Carefully add in and fry 4 to 5 prawn crackers at a time, ensuring that each piece can completely soak and submerge into the hot oil. This is to make sure that each piece is cooked thoroughly and evenly.

Step 3

If the oil is hot enough, it will only take 5 seconds for it to expand and float to the top of the pot. Then, remove them with a metal spider or chopsticks. Drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until the whole pack of prawn crackers has been cooked. Serve while hot.
