"Shrimp shao-mai"


Editor: Mariko
Shao-mai is a steamed Chinese pork dumpling wrapped in a thin flour-and -water sheet.
But I will try to introduce easy shrimp shao-
mai without wrapping sheet.
Of course, the taste is same as shao-mai!
It's still tasty when they are cold and suitable for ben-to (= Japanese lunch box)

Japanese

Ingredients (for 4 servings)
12 pieces shrimp (small), 300g minced chicken, 1/2 Negi, 1 package of Kaiwerena

Sauce (A) :
1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sake, 2 tbsp potato starch,
1/2 teaspoon ginger liquid

1 cup = 200cc / 1tbsp = 15cc / 1 teaspoon = 5cc

RECIPE
Preparation
1. Wash shrimps in salt water. Sprinkle salt and sake on the shrimp and wrap them in plastic film.
2. Put the wrapped shrimp into a microwave for 1 minute.
3. Chop Negi and coat with starch.




Making meatball
1. Put minced chicken in a bowl and add (A) and chopped Negi.

2. Mix them well and make 12 meatballs.

3. Put a shrimp on each meatball.

4. Place meatballs radially on a baking dish and
cover with plastic film.

5. Put the dish into a microwave for 2.5 minutes.

It's easier to make meatballs with hands spread in flour.




Serving
Cut off the bottom of Kaiwarena and wash. Cut into halves and dish them up with meatballs. I recommend to eat them with soy sauce and Japanese mustard.
