Cooking tips

  • When making the shrimp filling, do not use a blender to crush the small shrimp—instead, mash them gently with the back of a knife and finely chop to preserve their unique chewy texture.
  • For frying, repeatedly remove the shrimp from the oil to evaporate moisture, then return them to fry again—this ensures the inside cooks perfectly while the outside becomes extremely crispy.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to serve elegant and sophisticated Chinese cuisine on special occasions or when hosting guests.
  • Those seeking a premium fried dish that delivers both the chewiness of shrimp and an exceptional crunch.
