  * Soak in hot water until soft ** Omit if not
  available *** Squeeze out all the water DIRECTIONS:
  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.
