Step 1 – Marinate the Mantis Prawn

We use frozen mantis prawn with no shell. We defrost it, washed it with water and then we start to marinate the prawn. Firstly, we use egg white and mix it with the mantis prawn. Next, we add one tablespoon of oil, one tablespoon of soy sauce and some black pepper to mix with the mantis prawn. You can substitute soy sauce with salt and marinate the mantis prawn for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2 – Creating the batter

Prepare the flour with ratio 1:1 of corn flour and tapioca flour.
