Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the rice flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Add the beaten egg, then gradually pour in the water to get a smooth, lump-free batter.
  2. Roughly chop the shrimp and finely slice the green onions. Stir them into the batter.
  3. Heat the oil to 180 °C in a small deep pan.
  4. Pour a large spoonful of batter into the oil, spreading it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a thin fritter.
  5. Fry for about 2 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy, then flip and brown the other side.
  6. Drain on paper towels and serve right away, while hot.

Variations and tips

Herb version. Add a handful of chopped fresh coriander to the batter for a fresher taste.
