Heating the Oil for Deep-frying

Rhonda Parkinson
Heat the oil to deep-fry the prawn chips (prawn crackers) to 360 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 182 degrees Celsius). To find out if the oil is hot enough, either 1) use a deep-fry thermometer to test the temperature, or 2) place a cooking chopstick or a wooden spoon upright in the middle of the wok (as shown in the photo).
If bubbles start forming around the chopstick or wooden spoon immediately, the oil is ready.
