Step 1
Pat dry the Fresh Mozzarella Pearls (8 ounce).
Step 2
Set up the crumbing station: place the All-Purpose Flour (1/2 cup) in a shallow bowl, beat the Egg (2) in a separate bowl, and in a third bowl mix together the Panko Breadcrumbs (1 1/2 cup) along with the Salt (1 teaspoon), Fresh Thyme Leaves (1 tablespoon), Cayenne Pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and Smoked Paprika (1 teaspoon).
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 (2 teaspoon) or Sriracha, and Lime Juice (1 teaspoon) 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!
