About Prawn cakes

Prawn cakes are a popular seafood delicacy originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Thailand and Vietnam. They are typically made by blending minced prawns with ingredients like garlic, cilantro, fish sauce, chili, and breadcrumbs, then shaping the mixture into patties and frying them until golden. Some recipes incorporate additional ingredients like eggs or cornstarch for binder purposes. Prawn cakes are rich in protein due to the prawns and offer essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and vitamin B12. However, the nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation methods; frying adds extra calories and fat, while baked or air-fried versions reduce these concerns. Pairing prawn cakes with a fresh salad or dipping sauces can enhance flavor without compromising nutrition. Though delicious and versatile, they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
