Fluffy Deep Fried Shrimp Balls

Directions

1. 1. Shell and devein shrimp; then mince with unrendered leaf lard. Knead together in a mixing bowl.
2. 2. Dissolve salt in water and add in, along with egg white and flour. Stir mix by hand in one direction 15 to 20 min.
3. 3. Pick up mix and toss vigorously back into bowl. Repeat several times. (The mix will now be whitish.)
4. 4. Continue stirring and tossing till mix is quite stiff and pinkish.
5. (Squeeze a small amount of the mix into a bowl of cool water. If it holds its shape well and is not sticky, it's ready.)
6. 5. Meanwhile heat oil. Place some shrimp mix in the palm of the hand; then make a fist and squeeze mix through the hollow between thumb and index finger, shaping it into as round a ball as possible. Drop shrimp balls carefully into warm oil.
7. 6. Deep-fry a few at a time, as in "Basic Deep-fried Shrimp Balls". Then drain on paper toweling and serve.
