Main Ingredients:
- ½ Cup Squid (4 oz)
- ½ Cup Shrimp (4 oz)
- ¼ Cup Garlic Chives or Green Onions
- ¼ Cup Onion
- 2 Tbsp Carrot
- 1 Tbsp Red Hot Pepper
- ¼ Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 Egg (1 Pinch Salt)
- ⅛-¼ tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Water (Optional)
- Some Cooking Oil
Directions
First of all, chop about 1 cup worth of seafood that you like into tiny chunks. I will use ½ cup each of squid and shrimp today.
Finely chop all the vegetable ingredients like you did with the seafood ingredients. So, I will chop ¼ cup of either garlic chives or green onions, ¼ cup of an onion, 2 Tbsp of carrot, and 1 Tbsp of red hot pepper.
Put all the chopped seafood and vegetable ingredients in a bowl.
To make the ingredients stick together well, we will mix the ingredients with ¼ cup of all purpose flour and ⅛-¼ tsp of salt. If it is too dry, you can add about 1 Tbsp of water into the mixture.
Take out a spoonful of the mixture.
And then, shape the mixture into a flat round patty. Do the same thing for the rest of the mixture. You will get about a dozen.
Break 1 large egg and whisk it with 1 pinch of salt.
Dip the patty in the egg mixture and roll it a few times.
Take the patty out of the egg mixture and let the extra egg drip off a little.
Place the seafood patty on a heated nonstick pan with a generous amount of cooking oil. Fry them for about 6 minutes on medium-low.
When one sides become nicely golden brown, flip them over and fry the other sides for another 6 minutes on medium-low, or until they become golden brown.
They taste the best when they are still warm, but they are also good to eat later too.
