Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Prepare the prawns by peeling and de-veining them. Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs until they're lightly beaten. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.
3
Dip each prawn into the flour mixture, coating it lightly, then into the eggs, making sure to coat it completely, and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs onto the prawn to ensure they stick.
4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add a few prawns to the pan (do not overcrowd) and fry until they're golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5
Remove the prawns from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve the prawn katsu hot with the tangy dipping sauce, steamed vegetables, and a side of pickled ginger.
