Day 11 – Deep fried prawn cakes

Deep fried prawn cakes

1. Coat prawns in tapioca flour (well). Then wash the flour off (makes the fish cakes less ‘fishy’.
2. Ensure the prawns are as dry as you can get them by blotting with paper towel and squashing the water out.
3. In a blender add pork fat and pepper and salt. Blend to a paste
4. Add prawns, and sesame oil and blend to a sticky paste
5. Transfer to a bowl and ‘kneed’ by balling in a spoon and throwing back into the bowl (about 10 times).
6. Cover and refrigerate from approximately 10 minutes
7. Once refrigerated make balls of about 50g (approx. 1/4 cup), coat with corn flour, cover in egg and roll in bread crumbs.
8. Fry until golden brown (a few minutes)
