Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Frying the shrimp paste in oil and sesame oil before adding the sauce enhances texture and brings out a much richer, more savory flavor.
  • Since sesame oil has a low smoke point, always maintain medium-low heat when initially frying the shrimp paste to prevent burning.
  • After adding the sauce, use high heat to evaporate moisture quickly—this prevents the shrimp paste from becoming soggy and ensures the sauce clings perfectly to the ingredients.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a great side dish using leftover shrimp paste and leftover vegetables.
  • People looking for a simple, tangy-sweet recipe that everyone—from kids to adults—will enjoy.
