Dim Sum Shrimp Balls

@groovyfoodiess Let’s make one of my favorite dim sum items INGREDIENTS -1 12-ounce package of wonton wrappers -2 pounds raw shrimp, peeled and deveined -¼ cup chopped green onions, plus more for garnish -1 Tbsp soy sauce -1 Tbsp fish sauce -1 tsp kosher salt -1 tsp freshly ground black pepper -1 tsp sugar -1 large egg -2 Tbsp rice flour -4 cups vegetable oil -Sweet chili sauce, for dipping Preparation 1. Finely chop the shrimp, then add to a large bowl with the green onions, soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well. Add the egg and rice flour and stir; the mixture should thicken a bit. 2. Use a sharp knife to shred the wonton wrappers into ½-inch-wide strips, then transfer to a separate large bowl. 3. Scoop 2 tablespoons of the shrimp filling into the bowl with the shredded wrappers and pat firmly to cover the filling completely. Repeat to make about 6 balls total. 4. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). 5. Working in batches, fry the shrimp balls in the hot oil for 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). 6. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce alongside for dipping. 7. Enjoy!
