Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid
- 200 grams Prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons Potato starch
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 Egg white
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Clean the fresh squid thoroughly. Remove the skin, tentacles, and any internal organs. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Chop the squid and prawns into small pieces. Place them into a food processor along with the garlic clove and pulse until you get a smooth paste.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squid and prawn paste with potato starch, egg white, fish sauce, salt, white pepper, and cold water. Mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes sticky and smooth.
Step 4
Prepare a small bowl of water to keep your hands wet during shaping. With wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Carefully drop the sotong balls into the hot oil in small batches, ensuring they don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and float to the surface.
Step 7
Remove the sotong balls with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot as an appetizer with dipping sauce or use them in soups and stir-fry dishes.
