Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb. (0.4 kg) shelled 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)

Steps:

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