1. If you don't mind the alcohol, you can add beer to your batter mix.KELLY2009 wrote:Does anyone know the secret of keeping the fried prawn batter to stay crispy for a longer time?

the coating on the prawn must be complete such that no oil leaks in through the batter, plus obey the oil temperature needed for the recipe

got the Nissin (日清) brand, 700g pack, the packaging itself is a ziplog back, easy to keep and store the unused portionAugmum wrote:after trying various types/brands of flour, i finally stick to the tempura flour from Japan,
but i dunno whether are we referring to the same flour
yes, very crispy and temperature control of the oil (hot enuff) is crucial for the crispyness of the batter.
just went to the kitchen and check, yes...it's the same 日清 brandverykiasu2010 wrote: got the Nissin (日清) brand, 700g pack, the packaging itself is a ziplog back, easy to keep and store the unused portion
incidentally, it has a picture of tempura prawn on the packing
i actually use it for fish and chips, and believe that it will be equally good for the prawnsAugmum wrote:just went to the kitchen and check, yes...it's the same 日清 brand
now u mention 日清, then i know is nissin brand,
all the while, i only recognise the packaging with the tempura prawns
i bot the 500 g one....no ziplog
