Deep-Fry Fridays: Ebi Tempura Rice Ball Recipe

Deep-fried, crisp, fluffy batter surrounding juicy, perfectly cooked prawns used to be a party dish my mom would make on special occasions. I would pull up a stool and watch her while she shelled and de-veined what seemed like hundreds of prawns. The pile of shells would get bigger and bigger as she went – it always seemed to me that the pile of peeled prawns were so much smaller, and to my child’s eye, the more to less equation seemed unequal somehow.
