Recipe

Finely mince the cheongyang chili pepper with its seeds, and finely chop the cleaned shrimp with a knife to a slightly coarse texture.
Place the minced shrimp, cheongyang chili pepper, 2 tablespoons starch, 2 egg whites, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon tuna extract, and pepper in a bowl.
Gently mix without changing the stirring direction to prevent air bubbles, then transfer the batter to a piping bag or a zip-top bag.
Pour a generous amount of cooking oil into a pan over medium-low heat, and pipe the batter into elongated, bite-sized pieces using the piping bag.
When the edges of the shrimp batter are cooked and lift slightly, flip them over and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Mince the shrimp and cheongyang chili pepper, then mix with seasonings, starch, and egg whites without changing the stirring direction.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe bite-sized pieces into an oiled pan.
Cook over medium-low heat until golden brown on both sides, then plate and serve.

Cooking tips

Mix the batter gently without changing the stirring direction to prevent excess moisture from being released.
Tying the back of the piping bag can prevent the batter from overflowing when piping.
If the spiciness is too much, reduce the amount of cheongyang chili pepper and add minced minari, crown daisy, or large green onion instead.
