Red Prawn Lollipop with Crispy Noodles Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Red Prawn Lollipop:

• Open the packaging and thaw 200g of red prawn balls for 15 minutes
• Olive oil spray (for air frying or shallow frying)

For the Crispy Noodles:

• 200g egg noodles or thin wheat noodles
• Oil for frying (if deep-frying the noodles)
• 1 tsp sesame oil (if using the baked method)

For the Stir-fry Sauce:

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tbsp water

1/2 cup vegetable broth or water

1 tsp sesame oil

1/2 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., bell pepper, carrots, bok choy, etc.)

1 tsp garlic, minced

Cooking Instructions:

Cook the Red Prawn Lollipop:

• Air-frying: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Lightly spray the red prawn balls with olive oil and air-fry for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
• Shallow Frying: Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the red prawn balls until golden and cooked through (about 5-6 minutes).

Preparing the Crispy Noodles:

Deep-fried Method (Crunchiest Option):

• Heat enough oil in a wok or deep pan for frying.
• Separate the noodles and fry them in batches until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Baked Method (Healthier Option):

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
• Toss the noodles with a little sesame oil and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until crispy.

Preparing the Stir-fry Sauce:

Mix the Sauce Ingredients:

• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, cornstarch slurry, vegetable broth, and sesame oil.

Cook the Sauce and Vegetables:

• In a wok or large pan, heat 1 tsp of oil over medium heat.
• Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry until tender.
• Pour in the sauce mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Assemble the Dish:

Crispy Noodle Base:

• Place the crispy noodles on a serving plate as the base.

Top with Red Prawn Lollipop:

• Arrange the cooked red prawn balls on top of the crispy noodles.

Drizzle with Sauce:

• Pour the stir-fried vegetables and sauce over the red prawn balls and crispy noodles.

Serve:

• Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro or sesame seeds if desired.
