Nyonya Heh Kean [Prawn Fritters]

This is a dish we used to enjoy when we were young.  At that time, so long as we get to eat these, there is no question about  whether the fritters are crispy or stays crispy when cooled.  This is because we don’t wait until they are cooled, all were gone fast even before my mom cleans up the wok. We were so eager to enjoy these fritters when it is piping hot and just didn't bother to take any photos on the intersection of these fritters.

Found this simple prawn fritters recipe in Nyonya Flavours.  The batter tasted good and it’s crispy on the outside.  I find this batter good cos’ it is crispy yet still has a bite, not like those which are crispy, crunchy but hard that it hurts when you bite at it.  
Nice.  Now I have a reliable batter recipe to fry prawn fritters [heh kean].
