Instructions
1. Prepare the Shrimp Mixture
Finely mince the shrimp and add it to a bowl.
Mix in salt, pepper, soy sauce, corn flour, all-purpose flour, egg, and cooking oil.
Stir until it forms a thick, dough-like consistency.
2. Fry the Shrimp Balls
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture and carefully drop it into the oil.
Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
3. Make the Sauce
In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat.
Sauté red onion for a minute, then add the fried shrimp balls, cucumber, and green chilies.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then add it to the pan along with the sauce ingredients.
Stir well and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp.
4. Serve and Garnish
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
