Vegan Prawn Crackers
Theese can either be oil fried or made in a microwave for a less oily version. I haven't had the chance to test the latter. There'll definetly be a difference in taste and the original prawn cracker is ususally oil fried.
Ingredienser
- Rice paper
- Oil if frying preferable coconut oil or use a microwave.
- Salt
Optional
- Nutritional yeast and nori powder or kelp.
Sådan gør du
- Cut the rice paper in smaller pieces or fry them whole if they fit your skillet to make giant prawn crackers.
If deep frying:
- Heat the oil until very hot. Test with a small piece of rice paper. It will fry up immediately if the oil is hot enough. If it remains transparent and glass like the oil is too cold.
- Fry the rice paper for 10 seconds or until it's fully 'puffy'. The entire piece should be covered with oil. Add more oil as needed.
- Pick them up and leave to drip on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with fine salt and/or powderized spices.
If using a microwave
- Lightly coat the rice paper with oil and nuke a couple at a time (one layer only) at high heat untill fully puffed.
- Sprinkle with fine salt and/or powderized spices.
Noter
- The best way I've found to get spices to stick on dry things like air popped popcorn - and now vegan prawn crackers - is to grind the spices with salt in a coffee grinder and sprinkle the 'dust' (you get from the thorough grinding) on top.
- Different brands of rice paper might yield different results. You can see the kind I'm using in the short video in the blog post.
