How to Make Baked Prawn And Chilli Ginger Cakes

  1. In a bowl, soak 1 cup of crustless bread cubes in water for 10 seconds, then thoroughly squeeze out excess water.
  2. Combine the squeezed bread, 1 pound peeled and deveined prawns, 2 finely chopped Thai chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 large egg in a food processor.
  3. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly textured.
  4. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  5. Lightly flour your hands and shape the mixture into 12 small cakes (approximately 2 inches in diameter).
  6. Lightly spray a baking sheet with oil. Arrange the prawn cakes evenly spaced on the baking sheet.
  7. Spray the cakes lightly with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve warm with baby lettuce, rocket, or watercress and a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping.
