Shrimp Balls With Japanese Breadcrumbs Recipes

SHRIMP BALLS WITH WATER CHESTNUTS AND SPICY SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the shrimp balls: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine all the shrimp ball ingredients in a large bowl, except the panko breadcrumbs. Stir to thoroughly combine. Working in 3 batches, pulse the mix in a food processor until it becomes a coarse paste. Transfer each batch to a bowl. Do not overcrowd the processor bowl. When all the shrimp has been pulsed and transferred to a bowl, stir in the panko breadcrumbs until thoroughly combined.
• Working with wet hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the shrimp balls on a sheet tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
• For the dipping sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together to combine.
• To serve: Remove the shrimp balls from the oven. Serve warm on toothpicks or skewers with the dipping sauce on the side.

EASY CRISPY VIETNAMESE SHRIMP BALLS

Steps:

• Rinse shrimp well under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Coarsely chop shrimp into medium pieces and place in the bowl of a food processor.
• Add 1 beaten egg, shallot, sesame oil, cornstarch, brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper to the shrimp in the food processor. Blend until a smooth paste is created. Transfer shrimp paste to a bowl and refrigerate until slightly hardened, about 30 minutes.
• Remove paste from refrigerator. Use an ice cream scoop, a tablespoon, or your hands to form shrimp paste into balls.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add shrimp balls, cover, and steam until they become opaque, about 5 minutes. Transfer steamed shrimp balls to a plate and allow to cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes.
• Place bread crumbs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Place 2 beaten eggs in a separate bowl. Roll steamed shrimp balls in bread crumbs, then in beaten eggs, then again in bread crumbs and then place on a plate.
• Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Cook shrimp balls until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

MOM'S SHRIMP BALL

Steps:

• Mince onion. In a large frying pan, heat oil on medium high heat and sauté onion until translucent. Transfer to a plate/bowl and let it cool.
• Meanwhile put prawns in a large bowl and sprinkle corn starch. Rub them with hand and rinse in cold water. This is the best way to clean the shrimp/prawns. Drain well and set aside in a sieve.
• Grind ginger and keep the juice as well.
• Cut a prawn into 3-4 pieces and then pound it with a meat pounder or knife.
• Chop green onions and whisk the egg whites until fluffy.
• Combine shrimp, onion, green onion, ginger, ginger juice and salt, and pepper and mix well. Then add half of egg whites and corn starch. If the mixture is too runny, do not add any more egg whites. Otherwise use it all and adjust the consistency by adding more corn starch. Lastly add egg yolk and mix all together. The consistency should be fluffy but you need to be able to form a ball (but don't make it too hard).
• Oil the plate with sesame oil and make about 1 Tbsp size ball shape.
• Dredge in Panko. Instead of hands, it's easier to use two forks or spoons, so it doesn't stick to your hands. Try not to fold Panko inside the ball, and just apply it around the ball.
• Deep-fry the shrimp balls about 4-5 pieces at a time so the oil temperature won't drop too quickly. If you are new to deep-frying, here's my tip on deep-frying. When golden brown, take them out to a paper towel to drain extra oil. Serve with ketchup and salt & white ground pepper.
• You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for a month.

HUNDRED CORNER SHRIMP BALLS

Steps:

• Pulse shrimp in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl, then stir in water chestnuts, egg white, pork fat, rice wine, ginger, scallion, salt, and cornstarch. Beat shrimp mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon and throw it against side of bowl until combined well and compacted. Wet your hands with cold water and form teaspoons of shrimp mixture into balls, arranging in 1 layer on a wax-paper-lined tray. Coat balls, 1 at a time, in panko, then arrange in 1 layer on another wax-paper-lined tray.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Heat oil in a 5-quart pot until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F and fry balls in 4 batches, turning, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden and just cooked through. (Return oil to 375°F between batches.) Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. When all shrimp balls are fried, reheat on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven until just hot, about 2 minutes.
