Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine egg, cornstarch, flour, water, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well-blended and smooth.
  2. Add annatto powder and stir until dispersed and batter is lightly colored.
  3. Add bean sprouts, carrots, and shallots and gently stir to combine.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat about 2 inches deep of oil. 
  5. On a large spoon, place about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ukoy mixture and press 1 to 2 shrimps on top.
  6. Gently slide mixture into the hot oil and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. 
  7. With a slotted spoon, remove from heat and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Serve immediately with spicy vinegar dip.

Notes

  • Cut the carrots into uniform size and slice as thinly as possible as they will cook congruently with bean sprouts which have a short cook time.
