How to make it
-
In a bowl, combine shrimp paste, Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic, white pepper, salt, Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Flavored Sauce, sugar, Lee Kum Kee Pure Sesame Oil, and cornstarch. Mix in one direction until it binds. Chill in freezer 20‑30 minutes to firm up.
-
Cut spring roll wrappers into thin ¼‑inch strips and lay them out. Wet your hands and shape the shrimp mixture into heaping tablespoon balls. Roll each ball in the wrapper strips so it is fully coated.
*Pro Tip: for a wider noodle, cut into 1/2-inch strips.*
-
Heat neutral oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot or wok. Fry the shrimp balls in batches for about 4‑5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
-
Arrange on a serving plate drizzle with Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
