Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon rice flour, optional
4 oz. (115 g) peeled baby shrimp, rinsed and pat dry
4 oz. (115 g) bean sprouts, rinsed
2 tablespoon chopped scallions or chives
1 large egg
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

Combine all the ingredients (except the oil) in a bowl and mix well.
The mixture might seem very dry at first, but eventually, it will become slightly watery.
Heat up a wok with enough oil for shallow-frying. As soon as the oil is fully heated, lower it to medium heat. Use a tablespoon to scoop up a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and gently drop it into the wok. Repeat the same until the oil is 80% filled with the shrimp fritters (you will have to fry in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your wok).
Turn the shrimp fritters over and fry until both sides are golden brown. Dish out with a strainer, draining excess oil by laying the shrimp fritters on a dish lined with paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite chili sauce.

Time 30m

Yield 15-20 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 lb uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
2 1/2 cups coarse fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
1/2 cup cilantro leaf, chopped
1 egg
4 teaspoons fish sauce (nam pla)
vegetable oil (for deep frying, preferably peanut oil)
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 kaffir lime, juiced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped hot red chile (or 1 teaspoon sambal oelek)

Steps:

Shrimp and Ginger Fritters: Place the breadcrumbs and coconut milk together in a bowl, and set aside.
Place the shrimp meat, ginger, cilantro, egg and fish sauce into a food processor bowl, and pulse until the mixture is combined.
It is important not to over-mix or otherwise it will turn into a paste!
Add the breadcrumbs, which by now should have absorbed all the coconut milk, and pulse until just blended.
Heat the vegetable oil over high heat, or to 350 degrees F (180 C) in a deep-fryer.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture into the hot oil, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes.
Do this in batches.
As the fritters cook, remove from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper, and keep warm in a low oven.
Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce: Place all ingredients in a blender and whizz until blended and sugar is dissolved.
Serve in a small bowl (it yields 1 cup) to accompany the Asian Shrimp and Ginger Fritters.

Tips:

Use fresh, large shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have ginger-garlic paste, you can make your own by blending together equal parts ginger and garlic.
Be careful not to overcook the fritters, as they will become tough.
Serve the fritters hot with the sweet chili dipping sauce.
For a healthier version, you can bake the fritters instead of frying them.

Conclusion:

These Asian shrimp and ginger fritters with sweet chili dipping sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for something new and exciting to try, give these fritters a try. You won't be disappointed!
