Vegetarian Prawn Ball

Ingredients:
250g carrots (boiled & mashed)
250g potatoes (boiled & mashed)
40g cornflour
60g plain flour or self-raising flour


Seasoning sauce

1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp pepper


250g of bread crumbs

Oil for deep frying

Method:
1. In a mixing bowl, put in mashed carrots and potatoes mix them well. Mashed carrots can drain it, but not too dry. Add cornflour and plain flour to the mixture, then mix it well.

2. Mix it in a circle form, knead it too, then add in pepper, sesame oil, salt, sugar, continue to mix all together. Put a spoon in a small bowl, prepare to use the spoon to scoop up the mixture in a ball form, then put the spoon back to the bowl of water. If you find the ball too soft, add a bit more flour to the mixture again.

3. Let the ball roll over the bread crumb, e.g put the ball in between the crumbs, then use 2-hands to roll the ball. Once all the ball is coated with bread crumbs, put in a plate wait for deep frying. Put Oil in the wok, once the oil is boiled, off the fire, put half portion of the coated balls into the wok, then turn on the fire - set to medium - stir the oil slowly.

4. Once the balls start to float, turn the fire to high, then scoop them up to drain off the oil.
After oil have been drained off, put the balls on the plate, it ready to be serve.
