Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. shrimp shelled and deveined, defrost
  • 1 egg white lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt or fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon oil or some pork fat
  • 3 dashes white pepper powder
  • 8 pieces spring roll wrapper 8-inch square

Instructions

  • Combine the shrimp, egg white, salt/fish sauce, sugar, corn starch, sesame oil, oil, and white pepper in a mini food processor. Blend until the ingredients come together to form the shrimp paste.
  • Roll up the spring roll wrappers. Using a pair of scissors, cut the spring roll wrappers into tiny strips. Make shorter strips out of them. Place them on a level surface. Wet your hands and roll the shrimp paste into 1 tablespoon balls before rolling them onto the bed of spring roll strips.
  • As shown in the image below, the spring roll strips will adhere to the shrimp ball.
  • Using a pair of scissors, cut the spring roll strips. Make sure the strips evenly coat the shrimp ball. The strips that were cut off can be reused.
  • Deep fry the shrimp balls in a deep fryer or wok for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towels, and serve immediately with Thai sweet chili sauce or your favorite chili sauce.
