Directions
Step 1
Rinse the prawns under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside in a bowl.

Mince the garlic cloves finely and slice the green onion thinly, separating the white and green parts.
Step 3
Grate 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger using a microplane or fine grater.

In a food processor, combine prawns, minced garlic, the white part of the green onion, ginger, egg, lemon juice, and low-sodium soy sauce. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped but not pureed.

Transfer the prawn mixture to a large bowl and mix in the black pepper and cornstarch.
Step 6
Form the mixture into 8 patties, about 2.5 inches wide, using your hands.

Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Coat each prawn cake in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
Step 8
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 9
Cook the prawn cakes in batches, about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more oil if necessary between batches.

Remove the prawn cakes from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
