- 2 Boiled eggs
- 1/4 Onion
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp each Ketchup, vinegar and lemon juice
- 1 Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 Parsley (as needed)
- 16 Black tiger prawns
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Sake
- 1 Salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp Weak flour (Cake flour)
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Panko (as needed)
- Peel the prawns and rinse well.
- Marinate with the pre-seasonings and let stand for about 5 minutes.
- Cut open the back lengthways with a knife and remove the veins.
- With a knife, make a light lengthwise slit.
- Next, cut about halfway through the shrimp right at the middle.
- Make two more slashes, one 1 cm away from the first slash, and the other 2 cm away, to make three slashes altogether.
- Straighten the shrimp by pushing the back of the shrimp towards the front.
- You might feel the sinew breaking.
- Cut off the tips of the tails if you don't want the oil to sputter.
- Coat each prawn with the batter.
- Coat with panko.
- Just before frying the prawns, stretch them straight once more, then gently drop them to the oil.
- Deep-fry in oil that has been heated to 340F/170C.
- Since they were slashed through several times, they will cook quickly.
- Tartar sauce Chop the onion finely and sprinkle with salt, then microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.
- This makes the onion sweeter.
- Mash the boiled egg finely with a fork or masher.
- Combine all the tartar sauce ingredients.
