Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare Diced Onion
Wrap the diced onion in a piece of cheesecloth and rinse under cold running water to remove the pungent taste.
Make Tartar Sauce
Chop the hard-boiled egg and pickled cucumber into small pieces, then mix with the prepared onion, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until evenly combined to form tartar sauce.
Prepare Egg Wash
Beat the egg into a smooth liquid and set aside.
Fry the Shrimp
Remove the heads, shells, and intestinal veins from the shrimp, make diagonal cuts on the underside, then press the backs to straighten and lengthen them. Sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper, then coat sequentially in low-gluten flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs. Fry in medium-temperature oil until crispy.
Assemble Rice Balls
Spread tartar sauce on the fried shrimp, wrap each one in cooked white rice to form rice balls, then attach a nori sheet to each to serve.
