Cereal Butter Prawns

A favourite Prawn Dish which most families will order when they are eating out. Today, many home cooks are also cooking this popular dish in their home kitchen.  So, if you have some big prawns in your fridge, let's try out this dish. It is indeed a keeper!

Ingredients:
10 prawns 
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 egg (beaten)
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp cornflour
3 sprigs of curry leaves
1 red chili (chopped) or 4 chili padi (my chili padi is out of stock)
1 1/2 tbsp butter
1 tsp cooking oil
3/4 cup Nestum/Cereal
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chicken stock powder
1 tbsp milk powder

Methods:

1. Clean the prawns by using a pair of scissor to trim the feelers and legs, cut a slit on the back of the prawns, deveined and pat dry.
2. Add the 1/2 beaten egg into the prawns and mix to coat the prawns.
3. Add salt, flour, cornflour, and mix gently to coat.
4. Deep-fry prawns 2 to 3 minutes, dish and drain on kitchen paper.
5. In a bowl mix together nestum, milk powder, sugar, salt and chicken stock powder.
6. In a heated wok, melt butter with the cooking oil, add in the curry leaves and chopped chili and stir-fry until fragrant.
7. Add in the nestum and stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
8. Return the prawns to the pan, gently stir until well mixed and prawns are well coated with the crunchy cereal.
9. Off the heat, dish onto a serving plate and serve!

Notes: Though I did not serve this dish immediately after cooking, but half an hour later, the nestum/cereal is still so crunchy, as well as the curry leaves.
