I still have quite a bit of batter left after frying the prawns. Any advice on what other recipes it can be used for? If I store the remaining batter in the fridge, how long can it be kept?

Thanks a lot.

By the way, I think you've accidentally attached the "Golden Nuggets Crispy Squid Balls" photos to this page as well.

You can add in some chopped vege, spring onion, minced meat, left over Nian Gao, yam slices, sweet potatoes ...

Not recommend to keep it more than one night.

Will remove the photos. Tq.
