| 1. In a large bowl, combine coconut milk (just the thick, creamy part of the can), red curry paste, sugar, salt and grated coconut; add the rice and mix well so that the rice absorbs all the liquid. | 2. Form the rice mixture into tennis-sized balls and pack tightly so they do not fall apart while frying. | 3. Dip the balls into the egg, then dredge with cornstarch. | 4. Deep fry (medium high) until golden brown; let cool slightly. | 5. Break the balls apart into a clean bowl, gently stir, and bring to room temperature; if desired, reserve some of the crust to deep fry until crispy. | 6. Add the chopped Som Moo (or Spam), shallots, season with fish sauce and a little lime (some people add a little sugar too), chopped cilantro, mint, then lightly toss to combine. | 7. If desired, return the reserved crusts to the deep fryer until crispy, then drain on paper towels; once cooled enough to handle, crumble them onto the rice mixture or serve on the side. | 8. Add peanuts and toss; garnish with dried chilies. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
