About Prawn paste ball

Prawn Paste Balls are a savory treat often found in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese and Malaysian cooking. They are made by blending prawn paste with flour, egg, and seasonings, then shaped into bite-sized balls and deep-fried or steamed. The dish is known for its rich umami flavor and slightly chewy texture. Prawns are an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients such as selenium and vitamin B12, making them a healthy seafood choice. However, the healthiness of prawn paste balls can vary depending on preparation methods. Deep-frying increases the fat and calorie content, and some versions may contain high levels of sodium due to the prawn paste and added seasonings. Steamed options are generally lower in fat and offer a healthier alternative. They make a flavorful addition to soups, noodles, or dim sum platters.
