Shrimp balls

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Soak the shrimp for a while, rinse them clean, remove the heads, and use a toothpick to remove the black vein along the back.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Peel the shrimp and rinse them clean.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Finely chop the scallions

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Use the side of a knife to crush and flatten the shrimp (cruelly), then chop it into a paste until it becomes very sticky and produces shrimp paste. Then, put it in a bowl and knead it vigorously to develop its elasticity.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Add egg whites, pepper, sugar, salt, cornstarch, and chopped green onions. Add half an egg yolk (this won't affect the flavor). Mix well by hand, wearing disposable gloves if desired, until fully combined and the mixture is absorbed and becomes increasingly viscous.

   Step 6

   Like this, then repeatedly pound and knead until you feel the shrimp paste harden. Then boil water, and after boiling, reduce to medium-low heat.

   Step 7

   Take a portion of shrimp paste, squeeze it out between your thumb and forefinger, and scoop it out with a spoon, trying to make it as round as possible; balls look better. You'll have to figure this out yourself!
