Three steps—"cleaning", "marinating", and "quick-frying" are crucial.
"Cleaning"—remove the sand vein from fresh shrimp, freeze for 30 minutes, peel into shrimp roe, rinse with clear water, and drain.
"Marinating"—use kitchen paper to remove the moisture from the shrimp roe. Place the shrimp roe in salt, cooking wine, white pepper,egg white, starch, and mix thoroughly."Quick-frying"—heat the pan with oil, warm at about four (40% heat), add the shrimp roe and stir-fry until they turn red; remove from the pan.How to stir-fry eggs
Egg liquid should be mixed with a little water starch. Ensure the oil is hot enough, use slightly more oil, and move the pan to coat it evenly.Stir-fry quickly; this makes the texture fluffy and tender. MATERIALS:
250 grams of shrimp, 6 small-sized local eggs INGREDIENTS: 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of cooking wine, 3 green onions, 3 ginger slices,
1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of white pepper, 1 tablespoon of egg white, a little bit of white pepper,half a tablespoon of cornstarch, and one tablespoon of water starch PREPARATION:
