Recipe is adapted from http://food-4tots.com/2008/06/29/pan-fried-prawn-and-minced-meat-patties/

Ingredients:

200g minced pork (re-mince for a smoother texture)

1/4 carrot, finely chopped

3 water chestnuts, finely chopped

2 tbsp chopped spring onion (green part)

1 egg, lightly beaten

Oil for pan frying

Seasonings:

1 heaped  tsp corn flour

1 tsp soy sauce

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

A dash of pepper and sesame oil

Method:

1. Combine all ingredients and seasonings (except for egg) in a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
2. Cover the bowl with clip wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Remove from the fridge, add in beaten egg and stir well.
3. Heat up oil in a frying pan under medium heat. When hot, use a ladle to scoop up the mixture and make small batters on the frying pan. Make a few batches. Cook for 3 mins or until golden brown. Turn the patties over and cook for another 2 mins or until golden brown.
4. Dish up and place on a kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot.

Note: You may replace half of the pork with minced prawns and adjust proportion of ingredients and seasonings according to your preference.
