Crispy Shrimp Balls

1 Egg (whites only), lightly beaten
1/2 kilo Shrimp shelled and deveined
1 tablespoon Oil or 1/4 cup chopped pork fat
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon Salt or fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
2 cups Japanese breadcrumbs (Panko)
Oil for deep frying

Instructions

Using a food processor, beat egg white until frothy. Add shrimp, oil or pork fat, cornstarch, and
seasonings. Blend until a sticky paste forms. (If you don’t have a food processor, chop the shrimp and pork fat finely, then add beaten egg white, cornstarch, and seasonings.)
Wet your hands. Form mixture into 11/2-inch balls and roll in Japanese breadcrumbs. Make sure the shrimp balls are evenly coated in breadcrumbs.
Deep-fry shrimp balls in a deep-fryer or wok until they turn golden brown. Transfer to a plate and serve hot with sweet chili sauce.
