Advice
Keep the shrimp mixture slightly chunky instead of turning it into a smooth paste, because that gives the filling a better bite and a more premium texture after frying. π¦
Why it works π‘
The bread fries into a delicate crisp shell while the shrimp stays juicy and savory, and the sesame coating adds nutty aroma, texture, and that unmistakable dim sum look that makes the dish feel classic and luxurious. β¨
Twist πΆοΈ
Add 5 g finely chopped red chili and 5 g chopped cilantro (1 tsp each / 0.18 oz) to the shrimp paste for a brighter, bolder version with extra color and a slightly more modern finish. πΏ
