Ingredients
- 600 g green prawns (raw)
- 1 egg white
- 2 fresh lime leaves, shredded
- 3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
- 2 cups fresh corn flakes, crushed finely
- 3 tablespoons rice flour
- oil, for shallow frying
- extra sweet chilli sauce, to serve
Directions
Place prawn meat, egg white, lime leaves, sweet chilli sauce, cornflakes and rice flour in a food processor and process till the mixture is combined, BUT not smooth.
With wet hands, shape the mixture into small cakes.
Heat enough oil in a frying pan over medium heat to shallow fry.
Add prawn cakes a few at a time and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or till golden brown.
Place the cooked prawn cakes on kitchen towels to soak up the excess oil.
Serve with the extra sweet chilli sauce.
