Fried Shrimp Balls - crispy and crunchy shrimp balls, a popular and delicious Chinese appetizer. Learn how to make this Cantonese dim sum with the easy recipe.

Ingredients

– 1 lb. helled and deveined shrimp, defrost – ▢1 egg white (lightly beaten) – ▢1 teaspoon salt or fish sauce – ▢1 teaspoon sugar – ▢1 tablespoon corn starch – ▢1/2 teaspoon sesame oil – ▢1 tablespoon oil or some pork fat – ▢3 dashes white pepper powder – ▢8 pieces spring roll wrapper (8-inch square)

Step 1

In a mini food processor, add the shrimp, egg white, salt/fish sauce, sugar, corn starch, sesame oil, oil and white pepper. Blend until the ingredients form the shrimp paste.

Step 2

Fold the spring roll wrappers up. Cut the spring roll wrappers into tiny strips using a pair of scissors. Cut them into shorter strips. Lay them on a flat surface. Wet your hands and form the shrimp paste into balls (about 1 tablespoon) and roll the shrimp balls onto the bed of spring roll strips.

Step 3

The spring roll strips will stick to the shrimp ball, as shown on the picture below.

Step 4

Trim off the spring roll strips using a pair of scissors. Make sure that the strips coat the shrimp ball evenly. You can reuse the strips that had been trimmed off.

Step 5

Deep fry the shrimp balls in a deep fryer or wok until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Dish out, drain on paper towels, and serve hot with Thai sweet chili sauce or your favorite chili sauce.
