Re: Chinese Cuisine
Chinese Honey Walnut Prawns
• 1 lb of large or medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 5 cups water
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups oil
• 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
Preparation:
Rinse walnuts, and 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. Deep fry walnuts until they're shiny and brown, no longer golden.
Place walnuts on cookie sheet, let cool.
Mix cornstarch and egg whites together to form a thick, sticky texture and mix well with Shrimp. Set aside. Mix honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and condensed milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Heat oil until boiling, and then deep fry the shrimp until golden brown.
Drain, and then fold in honey mayonnaise mixture. Mix well, sprinkle with walnuts, and arrange on platter.
