How to cook Pipa prawns

Being a stranger in a foreign land, I miss my family all the more during the holidays. National Day is coming, are you homesick? Miss the taste of your mother's cooking? But there are not many holidays every year, and only if you learn to cook can you taste your mother's cooking often. So, please follow me to learn how to make delicious mantis shrimp.

1. Prawns, breadcrumbs, eggs, shredded carrots, shredded cucumber peels, rice wine, salt, MSG, white pepper, onions, ginger, dry starch, and cooking oil.

2. First remove the shrimp head and peel off the shrimp skin, leaving only the tail intact.

3. Use a knife to cut open the shrimp's abdomen, cutting deep into the skin on the shrimp's back, but do not cut through so that the skin and flesh remain intact.

4. Use a knife to trim into neat fan shapes and remove the shrimp intestines. Keep the shrimp meat cut off during trimming for other uses.

5. Use a knife to make cuts on the fan-shaped shrimp chips and poke them a few times with the tip of the knife to break the shrimp tendons to prevent them from curling up during frying.

6. Use a knife to chop the shrimp meat cut off when trimming the shrimp, then use the back of the knife to smash it repeatedly into fine paste for later use.

7. Add green onion, ginger, and rice wine to the shrimp chips, and sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and MSG to season.

8. Add rice wine, salt, pepper and MSG into the smashed shrimp paste. Use chopsticks to stir vigorously in one direction until the shrimp paste becomes sticky and gelatinous.

9. Apply a thin layer of dry starch on the marinated shrimp chips.

10. Apply a layer of egg liquid on the skin side of the shrimp chips.

11. Then coat with bread crumbs.

12. Arrange them neatly on a plate, and use a small spoon dipped in water to spread the shrimp paste evenly on the shrimp chips.

13. Then use a trowel or your fingers dipped in water to spread it evenly.

14. After spreading the shrimp paste evenly, use tweezers or your fingers to garnish the shrimp paste with shredded carrots and melon rinds, forming the shape of pipa strings, and press lightly with your fingers to secure it.

15. Heat a wok and pour in a proper amount of oil. When the oil is hot to 5-6, add the stuffed prawns and fry them slowly over medium heat until they float to the surface of the oil. Fry for another 10 seconds until they are cooked.

16. When the color turns slightly yellow, remove the fish from the dish, drain off the fat, and place on a plate for garnish. The dish is now ready.

There are many opportunities to visit relatives and friends during holidays. If you can make the perfect mantis shrimp by yourself, can you show off in front of your relatives and friends? Just think about it and you will be happy.
