Spicy Rice Balls
I have always enjoy Thai street food. In my recent trip back to visit Thailand, I had a chance to taste one of my favourite dishes; spicy rice balls. A combination of seasoned crispy rice mixed with crunchy fried peanut. Cut the taste with a dash of fresh lime juice and mouth burner fresh fried chilli. This is something to dye for. Well, today I will recreate that recipe and share with all of you. Here we go.
Ingredients
2 cup steamed rice
1 ½ tsp chicken stock powder
1 ½ tsp chilli powder
1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
1 fresh lime
2 tsp fish sauce
2 cups cooking oil
¼ cup raw peanut
8 dried chilli
2 shallots
3 baby lettuces
How to make
Take 2 cups of steamed rice and break it down into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice with 1 tsp of chicken stock powder, 1 tsp of chilli powder, 1 tbsp of minced fresh garlic, the juice of 1 fresh lime, and 2 tsp of fish sauce. Mix until well combined.
Take small portions of the rice mixture and shape them into balls.
In a pan, heat 2 cups of cooking oil to high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the rice balls to the pan and deep fry them until they are golden brown.
Remove the rice balls from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
In the same pan, add ¼ cup of raw peanuts and 8 dried chillies. Fry until the peanuts are golden brown and the chillies are crispy.
To serve, break down rice balls, mix with peanut, chillies, lime juice, fish sauce and fresh vegetables on side. Serve immediately and enjoy!
