Steamed Shrimp Paste with Seafood Mushrooms and Okra

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Wash the seafood mushrooms and place them at the bottom of a bowl or plate (I steamed them directly in a bowl for convenience when taking lunch). Use a small spoon to shape the shrimp paste into small balls and place them on top of the seafood mushrooms.

   Step 2

   I added some okra as a garnish, but it melted during steaming.

   Step 3

   Mix the seasonings (light soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, oyster sauce, Sichuan peppercorn oil) evenly, then add an appropriate amount of cooled boiled water and stir again. Adjust the saltiness to your personal taste. Pour the mixed sauce into a bowl (plate), but don't add too much sauce, as water will be released into the bowl during steaming.

   Step 4

   Once the water in the steamer is boiling, steam the okra 15 minutes. While steaming, boil the okra in another pot of water 6 7 until cooked. Remove the okra and add it to the steamed seafood mushrooms and shrimp paste to absorb the flavors. I was a bit lazy and didn't bother with plating, but the taste was absolutely fantastic!
