Cooking oil (vegetable or similar) for frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Use a sharp knife to roughly cut shrimp into little chunks, or blend a bit in a food processor to get a finer consistency.
02 -
Throw together the chopped shrimp, soy sauce, ginger, breadcrumbs, green onions, beaten egg, garlic, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. If it’s too loose, mix in some optional cornstarch.
03 -
Keep your hands damp and gently shape the mixture into small spheres, about 1-1.5 inches wide. You’ll end up with 20-25 pieces.
04 -
Heat vegetable oil on medium-high in a large pan. Cook the shrimp rounds in small batches for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip and fry until both sides turn crispy golden.
# Notes:
01 -
Serve as part of a main meal or as a snack.
02 -
Don’t blend the shrimp too much—it should still have texture.
03 -
Don’t crowd the pan while frying.
