Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding potato starch to the shrimp paste will make the texture heavy and puffy, so the secret is to use only pure shrimp to maximize the natural bouncy texture.
  • Since eggplant contains a lot of moisture, after the first fry, be sure to let it air-dry to evaporate moisture; then fry again to stay crispy for a long time without getting soggy.

Recommended for

  • Anyone wanting to prepare a special yet crowd-pleasing dish that will instantly win over even those who don't like eggplant.
  • Those who want to experience the perfect harmony of juicy shrimp filling and crispy fried eggplant with a crispy outside and moist inside.
