  • 50ml White wine vinegar
  • 100ml water

Directions

Season prawns with salt and pepper and set aside. Combine dry ingredients before adding a beaten egg and ice-cold bubble up soda water. Generously season the batter.
Dredge the prawns in the batter making sure to let excess batter drain off before deep frying. Ensure that you do not crowd the prawns in the oil as they will stick together. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on a kitchen towel.
FOR SWEET CHILI
In a pan, combine water and sugar. Simmer on low heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Next add vinegar, chili flakes, ginger, and garlic. Simmer until fragrant.
Add slurry to the mixture and stir until sauce begins to thicken.
