Ingredients
- 300 grams raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 units spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Place the raw prawns in a food processor and pulse until they form a smooth paste.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the prawn paste with soy sauce, egg white, cornstarch, spring onions, ginger, garlic, white pepper, salt, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 3
Using slightly wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 16 balls.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat the bottom with olive oil spray.
Step 5
Carefully place the prawn balls in the skillet, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow even cooking.
Step 6
Cook the prawn balls for about 4-5 minutes, turning frequently, until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the prawn balls from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the low-fat prawn paste balls hot with a side of low-sodium soy dipping sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
