Cooking Ingredients

Bamboo shrimp, green onion (10g), ginger (10g)

seasoning

Tomato sauce (30ml), salt (5g), sugar (10g), white pepper (5g), dry starch (30g), cooking wine (15ml), Knife Mark pure canola oil (300ml)

Remove the shell and head of the medium-sized shrimp, but leave the tail and remove the sand line.

Use a blade to cut the shrimp open from the back, but do not cut it off, keeping the abdomen connected. Curl the tail forward and pass it through the middle of the abdomen to make a shrimp ball.

Put the shrimp balls in a bowl, add salt, cooking wine and white pepper and marinate for 15 minutes.

Dip the marinated shrimp balls in starch, fry them in oil until golden brown, then remove and drain the oil.

Leave a little oil in the wok and heat over medium heat, add scallion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then remove the scallion and ginger, pour in tomato sauce, salt, sugar and 2 tablespoons of water and stir-fry evenly.

Finally, add the fried shrimp balls into the sauce and stir-fry until the shrimp balls are completely covered with sauce and then serve.

Precautions

1. Do not throw away the removed shrimp shells and heads. Put 200 ml of oil in the pot, pour the shrimp shells and heads into the pot, stir-fry continuously, and constantly hit the shrimp heads during the stir-frying process to make the red oil flow out of the heads. Fry until all the oil in the pot turns red, then slowly pour out the red oil. This is the shrimp oil. When eating wontons, pour two spoons of shrimp oil on them. They are simply delicious. Fried shrimp heads are also a delicious side dish.

2. You can choose the ingredients according to your preference, but it is not advisable to choose too many vegetables.

3. Use high heat to fry the shrimp so that the ingredients will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when cooked.

4. It is best to use female shrimps, so that the deliciousness of the shrimp meat can be fully displayed.

5. The removed shrimp shells can also be fried in oil until golden brown. It is very calcium-rich and can be given to children, but children who are allergic to seafood should be careful.

taste

I still remember that my favorite vegetable when I was a child was tomato. Although tomatoes are vegetables, they have more fragrance, sourness and sweetness than ordinary vegetables, like fresh fruits, and are loved by men, women, young and old! Moreover, for many housewives, with tomatoes in hand, they will not be stumped no matter whether their family members want to stir-fry, boil, mix cold or bake the dishes. Just like Ranran’s mommy, the tomato shrimp balls she made today are fragrant and sweet and sour. No wonder they were snatched up by the two children in the family as soon as they were served on the table!
