Ingredients
- 4 slices of ham
- 1 slice of processed cheese
Flour
- 1 egg, beaten

- Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Instructions
- Cut each cheese slices in half. Sandwich each cheese piece with 2 slices of ham. Roll first in flour, then beaten egg, and finally panko bread crumbs.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a frying pan so that it reaches about 1cm up the side of pan, and heat to 170 to 180°C. (When a pinch of panko is dropped into the oil, it should slowly come up to the top when oil reaches 170 to 180°C.) Fry the ham pieces until the surface is golden brown.
- Cut into rounds and arrange on a serving plate. You can also fry string beans the same way.

Serves 4
Cook Time
20 min
Ingredients
- 12 shrimp, thawed if frozen
- salt for rinsing shrimp (about 1tsp)
- salt and pepper
For breading
- 1/2 cup Flour (or Tempura flour)
- 1 to 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 1 cups vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- lemon wedges (small lime is fine)
Instructions
- Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail intact. Rub with salt, and rinse in cold water to get rid of the fishy smell.
- Dry the surface of the shrimp, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Batter in this order: flour (Tempura flour), beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Fry the shrimp in 170 degree Celsius oil until golden brown.
- Then arrange on a plate, along with the lemon wedges.
Notes
- It's fine to use ordinary flour for the batter, but if you can find and use tempura flour for this recipe, it'll produce a crispier end result. Dip in to the mayonnaise or soy sauce.
