Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 50 grams rice flour
- 100 grams gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 medium lime
- 1 large egg
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 200 milliliters oil for frying
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Coarsely chop the prawns and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the rice flour, egg, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, lime zest, green onions, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until combined.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 5 cm in diameter. You should get approximately 10-12 patties.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs on a plate. Coat each prawn cake by pressing gently into the breadcrumbs, ensuring both sides are well covered.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the prawn cakes to the skillet, frying in batches if necessary. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if needed to prevent burning.
Remove the prawn cakes from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the prawn cakes hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or aioli, and a wedge of lime on the side.
