Recipe: Laksa Prawn Pancake

by Mummy's Kitchen

Recently, my mum was in hospital for 3 weeks. Having to visit her in the hospital almost every day caused me to stop cooking for the family. Eating out all the time was very daunting for my family and I, so since it was a weekend night and I was not visiting mum, I thought it will be great to whip up at least one or two homecooked dishes for my family.

I was delighted that once again that I was able to create this quick and easy Laksa Prawn Pancake for the family using Dancing Chef’s Laksa Paste. The laksa paste indeed added a twist to the normal prawn pancake that I usually cook. It added an extra oomph to the pancake!!

Serves 2 to 3 persons

Ingredients:

1 sheet dried bean curd sheet

250g Prawns

3 tablespoons laksa paste

½ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Some oil for frying

Method:

  1. Remove shell from the prawns and devein them.
  2. Smash the prawns on the chopping board and then mince them.
  3. Add in the laksa paste and marinate it for 30 minutes.
  4. Gently wipe the bean curd skin on both sides with a clean, damp cloth; this is to get rid of the salt coating.
  5. Cut 1 or 2 pieces of the dry bean curd sheet into 6 inches x 4 inches or you can cut it according to your desired size.
  6. Spread the prawn laksa paste on half the piece of cut bean curd sheet.
  7. Next fold the bean curd sheet in half and set aside.
  8. Repeat till the paste is used up.
  9. Heat up some oil in a non-stick pan, on medium-low heat.
  10. Pan fry on one side till golden brown.
  11. Flip the pancake over to pan fry the other side till golden brown or prawn paste is completely cooked.
  12. Dish out and cut into smaller pieces. Serve immediately with steamed rice.

Hi! My name is Josephine Go. I blog at BeyondNorm.com in a segment called Mummy’s Kitchen. I love to use fresh and natural ingredients in my cooking to promote healthy eating. Some of my recipes may not be in line with the traditional methods of cooking to the extent that some of the ingredients are different, but hopefully new recipes are being created in my style. I certainly hope that what I do will help guide kitchen first-timers on how to cook their first meal as well as further equip kitchen veterans with new recipes. My loving husband and two wonderful children are my best guinea pigs and critics. They have enjoyed (or endured) the food that has been served to them for all these years. Mind you, I did not know how to cook or ever knew that I could cook till I got married. So there is hope for everyone. If I can cook, you can cook. You will not know how good or talented you are until you put your hand in the plough.
