Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams cooked white rice
- 200 grams raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks spring onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 200 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Rinse the raw prawns under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop them into small pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped prawns, cooked rice, flour, egg, spring onions, garlic, ginger, chili flakes, soy sauce, lime juice, and cornstarch.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Using clean hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small patties or fritters, approximately 2 inches wide. Place them on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking (about 175°C or 350°F).
Carefully place a few fritters into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process until all the fritters are cooked.
Serve the prawn and rice fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-based dips.
