Deep-Fried Carrot Balls image

This comes from a cookbooklet called "Yum Cha and Asian Treats". They are easy to make, and they taste wonderful. Would be excellent served with a side of sweet and sour sauce.

350 g carrots, peeled and sliced
2 cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 spring onions, finely chopped

1 egg, beaten
salt and pepper, to taste
