Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander
- 1 medium Green chili
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Begin by cleaning the prawns, removing the shells, and deveining them. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Place the prawns in a food processor and pulse until they form a coarse paste. Be careful not to over-process.
Chop the garlic cloves, fresh coriander, and green chili finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prawn paste, chopped garlic, coriander, and green chili.
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be malleable and hold together.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small, flat patty.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the prawn cakes into the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the prawn cakes from the skillet and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the prawn cakes hot with your choice of dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
