Ingredients

1 garlic clove, chopped

1/2-inch piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely chopped

1/4 tsp. ground turmeric

1 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. chilli sauce

2 tsp. soy sauce

2 tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped

juice of 1/2 lime

2 heaping cups cooked white rice (preferrably long grain)

1 cup peanuts, finely chopped

1 egg, beaten

vegetable oil, for deep frying

Directions

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.
