Ingredients:

Freshly ground black pepper

1.4 lb (650g) black tiger prawns, peeled and deveined

1.5 – 2 Tbsp. corn starch

2 eggs, separate into egg whites and yolks

1.5-2 inch ginger

3 green onion

Salt & white ground pepper

Ketchup

Oil for deep frying

1 medium (13 oz/ 380g) onion

1 cup Panko

½ tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. Sesame oil

Equipment:

frying pan

bowl

sieve

meat tenderizer

knife

whisk

paper towels

Cooking instruction summary:

Mince onion. In a large frying pan, heat oil on medium high heat and sauté onion until translucent. Transfer to a plate/bowl and let it cool.Meanwhile put prawns in a large bowl and sprinkle corn starch. Rub them with hand and rinse in cold water. This is the best way to clean the shrimp/prawns. Drain well and set aside in a sieve.Grind ginger and keep the juice as well.Cut a prawn into 3-4 pieces and then pound it with a meat pounder or knife.Chop green onions and whisk the egg whites until fluffy.Combine shrimp, onion, green onion, ginger, ginger juice and salt, and pepper and mix well. Then add half of egg whites and corn starch. If the mixture is too runny, do not add any more egg whites. Otherwise use it all and adjust the consistency by adding more corn starch. Lastly add egg yolk and mix all together. The consistency should be fluffy but you need to be able to form a ball (but don't make it too hard).Oil the plate with sesame oil and make about 1 Tbsp size ball shape.Dredge in Panko. Instead of hands, it’s easier to use two forks or spoons, so it doesn’t stick to your hands. Try not to fold Panko inside the ball, and just apply it around the ball.Deep fry about 4-5 pieces at a time so the oil temperature won’t drop too quickly. When golden brown, take them out to a paper towel to drain extra oil. Serve with Ketchup and salt & white ground pepper.

Food Trivia

Death row inmates in Texas don't get to pick their last meal.

Food Joke

Jack goes to the doctor and says "Doc I'm having trouble getting my penis erect, can you help me?" After a complete examination the doctor tells Jack, "Well the problem is that the muscles around the base of your penis are damaged. There's really nothing I can do for you unless you're willing to try an experimental treatment." Jack asks sadly, "And that would be?" "Well," the Doctor explains, "What we would do is take the muscles from the trunk of a baby elephant and implant them in your penis." Jack thinks about it silently then says, "Well the thought of going through life without ever having sex again is too much, let's go for it." Jack went under the knife, and, after a period of recovery and healing, returned to the Doc for his blessing. Following the examination, the Doc pronounced Jack "healed and ready for action". Eager to use his experimentally enhanced equipment, Jack planned a romantic evening for his girlfriend and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in town, anticipating a happy conclusion to the evening. In the middle of dinner he felt a stirring between his legs that continued to the point of being painful. To release the pressure, Jack placed his napkin on his lap and unzipped his fly. His penis immediately sprung from his pants, flipped the napkin on the floor, went to the top of the table, grabbed a bread roll and then returned to his pants! His girlfriend was stunned at first but then, imagining the possibilities, said with a sly smile and a gleam in her eye, "That was incredible! Can you do it again?" Jack groaned, "Probably, but I don't think I can fit another roll in my ass."
