Cucur Udang for Tea

I took this recipe from Mat Gebu blogspot . He has an excellent range of recipes of which I did try a few.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1/2 tb instant yeast (mauripan)
1 3/4 cup water

1 small bowl mung bean sprout - washed

1 small bowl chinese chives - washed and cut
1/2 small bowl spring onion - sliced
1/3 tp turmeric powder
salt for seasoning
20 pcs medium prawn cleaned

Dippings
8 nos chillies
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup  vinegar
3 cloves garlic
salt

Method :
1. Mixed and stir flour, turmeric powder, instant yeast and salt into a big bowl.

2. Gradually pour in water until the mixture thickened (not too watery).

3. Add in mung bean sprout, chives and spring onion then mixed well.

4. Cover the mixture with tea towel and let it rest for 30 min so that the yeast can do wonders.

5. While waiting for the mixtures, blend chillies and garlic then combine those two ingredients with sugar and salt in small pot.

6. Cook with slow fire and add in vinegar. Stir until it has thickened a bit. Thereafter let it cool down.

7. After 30 min, heat the oil in a wok (make sure the oil level is about half of the wok. This is to ensure when we dipped the ladle in the oil, it will be totally covered in oil)

8. Dip in a metal ladle in the boiling oil for 1 min. Take the ladle out.

9. Scoop about 3/4 of the mixture into the hot ladle and put a piece of the prawn on top of the mixture.

10. Then dip it into the boiling oil. Let it hardened a bit then try to flip it out of the ladle into the oil and repeat until all the mixtures are cooked.
