Let’s make one of my favorite dim sum items
INGREDIENTS
-1 12-ounce package of wonton wrappers
-2 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
-¼ cup chopped green onions, plus more for garnish
-1 Tbsp soy sauce
-1 Tbsp fish sauce
-1 tsp kosher salt
-1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
-1 tsp sugar
-1 large egg
-2 Tbsp rice flour
-4 cups vegetable oil
-Sweet chili sauce, for dipping
Preparation
1. Finely chop the shrimp, then add to a large bowl with the green onions, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well. Add the egg and rice flour and stir; the mixture should thicken a bit.
2. Use a sharp knife to shred the wonton wrappers into ½-inch-wide strips, then transfer to a separate large bowl.
3. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the shrimp filling into the bowl with the shredded wrappers and pat firmly to cover the filling completely. Repeat to make about 6 balls total.
4. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
5. Working in batches, fry the shrimp balls in the hot oil for 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
6. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce alongside for dipping.
7. Enjoy!
