This Man's Cook Watercress Egg Roll

A thickly rolled egg roll with finely chopped fragrant watercress and crisp vegetables, enhanced with the deep umami flavor of minced shrimp paste instead of salt.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using finely minced shrimp paste instead of salt helps eliminate the eggy odor while adding deep umami and rich flavor.
  • If vegetables or watercress are too large, they may burst or split when rolling the egg; chopping them finely and short ensures success.
  • Do not pour all the egg mixture at once—add it in thin layers gradually while rolling to achieve a tightly packed, attractive cross-section with even thickness.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to elevate their usual egg roll with fragrant watercress and savory shrimp paste for a unique side dish.
  • Families or children who enjoy a soft, aromatic, and satisfying egg-based meal.
