Home-Made Crab And Shrimp Balls Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 pound shrimp, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup of canned or fresh white crabmeat
• 1 tbsp scallions, finely chopped (optional)

Seasoning:

• Dash of sake
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• Dash of sesame oil
• 1 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp mirin

You will need:

• Shrink/ food wrap
• 1 egg white to bind the ingredients

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Firstly, mix all the above ingredients together, either in a food processor or as I did, simply chop them all up together, mixing as you do so. Mix in the seasoning and blend well. 
2. Remember to add the egg white as well which will serve to bind the mixture. Next, cut out 8 5"x5" squares of the wrap and set aside.
3. Spoon about 1-2 tbsp of the mixture (depending on what size of the seafood balls you want) into the middle of the square and wrap tightly while forming a ball with the seafood mixture. 
4. Double wrap the 'plastic ball' with another layer of food wrap and twist to secure tightly. Repeat with remaining mixture and squares until done. 
5. Finally, simply heat ample water for boiling and boil the wrapped seafood mixtures for 15-20 minutes. 
6. Unwrap the plastic and you're ready to serve! After boiling, you may also opt to deep-fry or pan-fry the seafood balls.
