Tasty rice balls, rolled in chopped peanuts and deep-fried, make a delicious snack. Serve them with a sweet chilli sauce for dipping. Makes about 16 rice balls.
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove, chopped shopping list
- 1/2-inch piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped shopping list
- 1/4 tsp. ground turmeric shopping list
- 1 tsp. sugar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. salt shopping list
- 1 tsp. chilli sauce shopping list
- 2 tsp. soy sauce shopping list
- 2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped shopping list
- juice of 1/2 lime shopping list
- 2 heaping cups cooked white rice (preferrably long grain) shopping list
- 1 cup peanuts, finely chopped shopping list
- 1 egg, beaten shopping list
- vegetable oil, for deep frying shopping list
How to make it
- Put the garlic, ginger, turmeric, sugar, salt, chilli sauce, soy sauce, chopped cilantro and lime juice in a food processor and process until the mixture forms a paste.
- Add three quarters of the cooked rice to the paste in the food processor and process until smooth. Scrape into a mixing bowl and stir in remaining rice.
- Wet your hands in some cold water and shape the mixture into small balls (about 1 tbsp. of mixture per ball).
- Place chopped peanuts in a shallow dish. Dip the rice balls in the beaten egg first, then roll them in chopped nuts, coating evenly. Note: the peanuts have to be chopped fine. That way they coat the balls better and more evenly.
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer or wok to about 375F. Add the balls, about 5 at a time, and cook for a few minutes, until crisp and lightly browned. Drain on paper towells. Serve warm with chilli dipping sauce.
