Cooking Instructions

  1. To make the tempura prawns, mix the tempura flour with the salt, then pour the soda water into a mixing bowl and add the flour and lime zest. 
  2. Stir quickly until all the flour is mixed with the water, being careful not to overwork the batter. There should be a few small lumps in the batter. 
  3. Heat 5 cm of the vegetable oil in a large, deep pan over a medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. 
  4. Dip the prawns in the tempura batter and place them in the preheated oil. Fry them until golden brown and cooked. 
  5. Drain the prawns on a roller towel to remove the excess oil. 
  6. For the salad dressing, combine all the ingredients and whisk until blended. 
  7. To make the salad, place the radishes, pickled ginger, sesame seeds and coriander in a bowl. 
  8. To make the dressing, combine the lime juice, sesame oil, olive oil, fish sauce and brown sugar. 
  9. Serve the tempura prawns with the salad and the dressing.
