Instructions
PREPARE THAI CRISPY RICE BALLS
- In a large mixing bowl, combine steamed rice, minced pork, white sugar, fish sauce, red curry paste, and kaffir lime leaves.
- Gently knead using your hand, making sure all ingredients are well mixed.
- Once the rice mixture is kneaded, form it into round balls by hand.
FRY THE RICE BALLS
- Start by cracking an egg into a bowl, add water, and whisk it until it’s well beaten.
- Roll a formed rice ball in the tempura flour to coat it evenly.
- Next, dip the flour-coated rice ball into the beaten egg until it’s completely covered.
- Roll the egg-dipped rice ball in the tempura flour again for a second coat.
- Deep-fry the double-coated rice balls in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
- After frying, place the crispy rice balls on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
TOSS THE SALAD
- In a mixing bowl, break down the fried rice balls into chunks.
- Combine the fried rice with fermented pork sausage, pork skin, chili flakes, fish sauce, lime, and MSG.
- Finish by tossing the rice mixture with fresh herbs like coriander and green onions, add ginger, shallots, fried peanuts, and fried chilies. Thoroughly combine and serve immediately.
