Prawn Balls

Makes 4 appetizer servings

Ingredients:

1 large egg
2 to 3 tablespoons water
8 ounces plain flour
12 ounces raw prawns (shrimp), shelled and small chop
4 ounces bean sprouts, broken up
2 ounces scallions, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation:

Preheat the deep fat fryer to 350 degrees F and preheat the oven to
low. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg together with the water.

Add the flour a tablespoon at a time and beat to form a thick paste,
adding a little more flour or water as necessary. Add the remaining
ingredients, mix well and form into balls.

Deep fry in batches until golden brown on all sides. Drain on paper
towels and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remainder. Serve
hot.
