How to Make Shrimp Balls W Orange Sauce
- **Prepare Orange Sauce:** (See recipe below). Set aside.
- **Prepare Shrimp Mixture:** Finely chop the shrimp and water chestnuts. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
- **Combine Ingredients:** Stir in the chopped shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, cornstarch, ground ginger, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil until well combined.
- **Shape Shrimp Balls:** Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- **Preheat Oven & Oil:** Preheat oven to 175°F (80°C). Heat vegetable oil in a wok or heavy-bottomed skillet to 375°F (190°C). Test the oil temperature by dropping in a 1-inch cube of bread; it should turn golden brown in about 1 minute.
- **Fry Shrimp Balls:** Fry 8-10 shrimp balls at a time for 50-60 seconds, or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- **Drain & Keep Warm:** Remove the shrimp balls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Keep warm in the preheated oven or on a warming platter.
- **Serve:** Arrange the cooked shrimp balls on a platter or in a serving bowl. Serve immediately with separate bowls of orange sauce and Chinese mustard. Offer bamboo skewers or toothpicks for dipping.
- **Orange Sauce Recipe:**
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
- Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
