These Egg Rolls Taste as Good as They Look

Shrimp toast is a household dim sum dish made with shrimp paste stuffed into bread, which is then fried with sesame oil until it turns golden brown. Later, in order to enhance the visual splendor of the dish, an open phoenix tail prawn was added on top. The dish can be enjoyed as a dim sum snack or as a meat appetizer. Over time, the dish was refined to a roll shape, and three different colors of pepper were added as filling, further enhancing the beauty of this dim sum dish.

Cooking Directions

Preparations

Slice bread into 20 thin slices. Remove crust.

Wash peppers. Cut into thick strips.

How to make shrimp paste

Wash shrimp meat and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and lay out on flat surface for an instant, allowing some of the water vapor to exude. Pat shrimp dry with cloth, and then mash with knife. Mix with salt, potato starch, and ground pepper, stirring into a paste. Then add sugar and chicken bouillon and stir into a paste once again. Finally, add sesame oil and stir into a viscous paste.

How to assemble egg rolls

Brush beaten egg on one slice of bread. Smear on shrimp paste from step 3. Add a strip of pepper and wrap up, sealing openings. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hrs.

Put it all together

Heat oil in pan to 302°F (150°C). Remove plastic wrap from bread rolls and place in pan. Fry until golden brown. Remove from pan and strain away excess oil. Cut and serve.
