What is Krupuk Udang? Krupuk Udang are deep fried crackers made from starch and other ingredients that serve as flavouring. These are smaller bite-size crackers; the counterpart of chips (or crisps) in western cuisine. They are a popular snack in parts of Indonesia.
Serves 2
Cook time: 10 min, Prep time: 5 min
Krupuk Udang Ingredients:
- 4 dried prawn crisp wafers
- tbsp oil, for frying
Krupuk Udang Preparations:
- Heat the oil in a wok or large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the larger wafers one at a time, spooning oil over them as they cook — the oil should be hot enough to make them swell within 2–3 seconds of being dropped in. Test with a small piece first.
- If the oil is not the right temperature they will be tough and leathery, not crisp and melting. On the other hand if the oil is too hot they will brown too fast.
- Remove the wafers with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel (placed on a wire rack — this will keep the wafers crisp).
- Cool thoroughly before storing in an airtight container.
