Honey-walnut Prawns Recipe
Yield: 4 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1/2 cup: Walnuts,
5 cup: Water,
1 cup: Sugar,
2 cup: Oil,
16 medium: Prawns, peeled and cleaned
1/2 cup: Cornstarch,
1/2 cup: Egg whites,
2 tbsp: Honey,
3 tbsp: Mayonnaise,
1 tbsp: Fresh lemon juice,
1/2 tbsp: Condensed milk,
1/2 cup: Oil,
Directions:
Heres a goody. I normally shy away from Western influenced Chinese
recipes and would never have fixed this one on my own. It calls for
such non-Chinese things as milk and mayonnaise. My room mate fixed it
the other night though, and it was excellent. He was trying to
duplicate a dish that he and his date had at a Chinese place a while
back and apparently, this is almost it. Laurie suggested it would be
closer to the restaurant dish by just dusting the shrimp with
cornstarch rather than making a batter. I imagine that it would be
good either way. It certainly is good this way!
Rinse walnuts, then boil in 5 cups water, continually changing water
until clear. When clear, boil with sugar until sugar dissolves. Heat
2 cups oil until almost smoking, then deep-fry walnuts until theyre
shiny and brown, no longer golden. Remove walnuts to cookie sheet,
let cool. Mix cornstarch and egg whites together to form a thick,
sticky texture and mix well with prawns. Set aside. Mix honey,
mayonnaise, lemon juice and condensed milk in a medium bowl until
smooth.
Heat oil until boiling, then deep fry prawns until golden brown.
Drain, then fold in honey-mayonnaise mixture. mix well, sprinkle with
walnuts, and arrange on platter.
Serves 4 to 6.
