Thai Shrimp Cakes (Tod Mun Goong)

PREP TIME
15 minutes
COOK TIME
15 minutes
SERVES
Makes 4
Ingredients

3 coriander (cilantro) roots, washed, roughly chopped

2 garlic cloves, peeled, roughly chopped

½ tsp ground white pepper

2 tsp sea salt

500g (1 lb) peeled and deveined prawns

½ tsp baking powder

2 cups panko breadcrumbs*

vegetable oil for deep frying

Homemade sweet chilli sauce or store-bought sweet chilli sauce, to serve

Steps
  • Step 1

    Place coriander roots, garlic, pepper and salt into the bowl of food processor and blend until finely chopped. Add the prawns and the baking powder and blend until a smooth paste is formed. Scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl. Then blend again for half a minute until the mixture is very smooth. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

  • Step 2

    Place breadcrumbs in a large shallow bowl or tray. Use a mini ice-cream scoop or a spoon to scoop heaped tablespoons of the prawn mixture into the breadcrumbs. Coat with breadcrumbs and form into patties. Place the crumbed shrimp cakes onto a tray lined with baking paper. At this point shrimp cakes can be frozen for use later.

  • Step 3

    Fill a saucepan or wok to about 1/3 capacity with the vegetable oil. Heat over high heat. Once the oil is hot (325°F or 165°C or when a wooden spoon dipped into the oil forms small little bubbles) cook shrimp cakes until golden. Flip them a couple of times as they cook to ensure an even colour. Drain on kitchen paper.

  • Step 4

    Serve with sweet chilli sauce.

  • Notes
    Notes:

    – Panko breadcrumbs are a type of Japanese breadcrumb available in the Asian aisle of most supermarkets.

    – Shrimp cakes can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to use, cook them from frozen.
