Ingredients
- 500 grams prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 1 egg white
- 100 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon red chili (finely chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0 olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the prawns in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped but not smooth. You still want some texture for a better bite.
Step 2
Transfer the prawn mixture to a large bowl. Add the egg white, green onion, red chili, minced garlic, soy sauce, cornstarch, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should have about 8 prawn cakes.
Step 4
Spread the panko breadcrumbs evenly on a plate. Gently coat each prawn cake with the breadcrumbs. Press lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere but be careful not to deform the patties.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Step 6
Carefully place the prawn cakes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook in batches if necessary. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy prawn cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of additional lemon juice on top. Enjoy!
