My mother was an excellent & creative home cook. She fed us every day with 4 to 5 dishes. On our dining table, there were always , /, , /, & . Somehow, she managed to cook something new & never seemed to run out of ideas. Even though we came from a poor family, we ate well, extremely welland#8230;a revelation this I only realized much later in life.

Shrimp Fritters Recipe

recipe Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon rice flour, optional
4 oz peeled baby shrimp, rinsed & pat dry
4 oz bean sprouts, rinsed
1 large egg
3/4 cup water
1/4 heaping teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Oil, for deep-frying

Method:

Combine all the ingredients (except the oil) in a bowl & 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 & 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 & 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.

Cookand#8217;s Notes:

1. You can trim the ends of the bean sprouts if you like.
2. You can add some carrot strips into the mixture. It adds color (& a mild sweet flavor) to the shrimp fritters. I also like (orange-color) sweet potato strips, which makes the shrimp fritters even better.
3. This Healthy Recipes is best when made with tiny baby shrimp called geragau (which is used to make ).
