Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

1/2 cup corn flour
1 tablespoon dry sherry (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
peanut oil (for deep frying)
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 clove garlic (crushed)
2 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger (finely grated fresh or use prepared ginger)
1 large egg (beaten)
12 large raw prawns
Shell and de-vein prawns, leaving tails on.
With a sharp knife slit prawns along curve of back but do not cut right through.
Combine wine, soy sauce, garlic crushed with salt, ginger. Marinate prawns in this mixture for 15 minutes.
Dip prawns into corn flour, shake off excess, then dip into beaten egg and finally into breadcrumbs. Press gently to flatten prawns and firm on the crumb coating.
Heat oil and fry prawns, 2 or 3 at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot with chili sauce if desired.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
