Description
These little snack patties are lightly fried and are packed with kamaboko and veggies. Serve with your favorite Asian dipping sauce for an easy and quick starter.
Ingredients
1 6-ounce block kamaboko, shredded*
1 medium carrot, grated (medium grate, not fine)
1 8-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
3 stalks scallions, sliced
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten
2–4 tablespoons water
oil for frying
Instructions
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, pepper, egg, and 2 tablespoons of water.
Add the remaining ingredients, except the oil. If needed, add more water, one tablespoon at a time. Batter should resemble and very thick pancake batter.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with a very thin layer of oil. You are shallow frying, not deep frying.
Drop 1-tablespoon sized spoonfuls into the pan and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil as necessary.
Drain on paper towel.
Serve warm with your favorite Asian dipping sauce.
Notes
*May substitute with imitation crab meat – shredded and cut into 1″ lengths.
