Optimum temperature control is very
important. Oil temperature should be
medium-high. Shrimp balls will absorb excessive oil at
low temperature. Of course, everybody knows what will happen
at too high temperature!!
You may end up eating charcoal !

Chili is
always a fantastic
taste enhancer
to seafood. Prawn or meat marinated
with salt will toughen on
cooking. Rather, sugar is used.
The sugar coating acts as a sealant to prevent juice
drained from the prawn itself. Thus on cooking, it will be
juicy. The juiciness also gives the prawn the much desired
succulent feel.
In addition,
the sugar, in very slight amount, adds flavor to the prawn.
For 500 g of seafood; add 1
tsp of chili powder,
1 tsp of sugar, 2 tbsp of
soy
sauce, Marinate for 5 minutes.
Stir fry over very
high heat for 2
min.
