3. Marinate for about five minutes, then drain the liquid.
4. Coat the prawns in the cornflour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs.
5. *Optional* Place the coated prawns in the fridge for about half an hour, this will help the coating adhese.
6. Heat the oil in a wok and when smoking, deep fry the prawns for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.

Result

Very, very nice. Although yet again I prefer just plain prawns grilled, this seems to bring out more of the prawn flavour, but this recipe tastes great non the less.
