Using a mortar and pestle or a blender. Puree chilies,
coriander roots, Galanga, lime peel, garlic, onions
and shrimp paste. Add soy beans and rice flour and
blend well. Transfer the soy bean mixture to a bowl
and add eggs, Kaffir lime leaves, cilantro leaves and
fish sauce and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon
until well blended. Heat oil in a large flat bottom
fry pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, dip hands in
water and form the soy bean mixture into patties,
about 1-1/2 inch in diameter each. Fry until well done
and golden brown. Drain the oil on paper towels. Serve
hot with dipping sauce. Dipping Sauce ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heat salt, sugar and vinegar in a small saucepan over
low heat until the salt and sugar is dissolved. Cool a
bit, add chilies and stir to mix well. NOTE: The
mixture must be on the dry side. If the mixture is
too soggy it won't be crispy when fried. The
solution
would be to lay the patties out on a cookie sheet
to
air dry about 15 minutes or so before frying.
