Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 stalks spring onions, finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons cornflour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the prawns under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the prawns in a food processor and blend until a smooth paste forms.
Transfer the prawn paste into a mixing bowl and add the minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped spring onions, cornflour, salt, white pepper, gluten-free soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.
With damp hands, take about 1 tablespoon of the prawn mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 180°C (356°F).
Carefully add the prawn balls into the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the prawn balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the prawn paste balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
