How to Make Sweet Chilli Prawn Cakes

  1. Combine 250g raw peeled prawns, 1 egg white, 5-7 finely chopped lime leaves, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1/2 cup crushed corn flakes, and 1/4 cup rice flour in a food processor. Pulse until just combined; do not over-process.
  2. Using wet hands, shape the mixture into small, flat cakes (approximately 2 inches in diameter).
  3. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Carefully add the prawn cakes to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd. Fry for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the prawn cakes from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  6. Serve immediately with extra sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
