Step 1
Pat dry the
Fresh Mozzarella Pearls (2 cups)
.
Step 2
Set up the crumbing station: place the
All-Purpose Flour (1/2 cup)
in a shallow bowl, beat the
Eggs (2)
in a separate bowl, and in a third bowl mix together the
Panko Breadcrumbs (1 1/2 cups)
along with the
Salt (1 tsp)
,
Fresh Thyme Leaves (1 Tbsp)
,
Cayenne Pepper (1/2 tsp)
, and
Smoked Paprika (1 tsp)
.
Step 3
Roll the balls in the flour, dusting off any excess, then dip in the egg, then finally dredge in the spiced panko crumb mixture. Repeat this process again for a thicker, crunchier coating.
Step 4
Place balls on a tray and transfer to the fridge for 30-40 minutes to set.
Step 5
To make the chilli mayo, combine
Mayonnaise (1 cup)
,
Sambal (1/2 Tbsp)
or Sriracha, and
Lime Juice (1 tsp)
in a bowl and mix well to combine. Leave aside.
Step 6
Pour
Vegetable Oil (to taste)
into a deep fryer or heavy-based saucepan and heat until it reaches 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). In small batches, fry the balls for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 7
Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with additional salt while warm.
Step 8
Serve immediately with the chilli mayo dipping sauce. Enjoy!
