Thanh's delicacies

For Thanh Hoa people, shrimp rolls have existed for a long time, and are a snack at the end of the day. Especially, on cold winter days, there is nothing better than sitting and enjoying hot and crispy shrimp rolls with the taste of shrimp and meat, mixed with sweet and sour dipping sauce, served with pickles and raw vegetables.

After completing all the steps, the shrimp cakes will be clamped into bamboo clips and then placed on the grill.

Shrimp cakes are made from the main ingredient of sea shrimp, rich in nutrients and minerals. After being caught, the shrimp will be cleaned, pounded, and the pork belly will be minced with dried onions, stir-fried with a little pepper and gac powder, then mixed well. Then, put the above ingredients into rice noodles, roll them up, and put them on the grill.

Shrimp cakes are placed in bamboo clips (or grill) and then placed on a charcoal grill for about 7-10 minutes. The shrimp cakes are golden brown when cooked, with brown edges. They taste better when hot. Shrimp cakes are often eaten with pickles (salted figs, papaya pickles, carrots, green mangoes) and vegetables such as lettuce, perilla, Vietnamese balm, and coriander. The cakes can be eaten grilled with dipping sauce and chili sauce.

When cooked, the shrimp cake is golden brown.

However, delicious shrimp cakes, typical of Thanh land, must be served with a dipping sauce made from sea fish sauce, which is considered the "soul" of the dish. The dipping sauce also depends on each restaurant, so there are different ways to mix it, but in general, the dipping sauce has a sweet and sour taste. With the fragrant and crispy taste of shrimp cakes, combined with many sour, spicy, and astringent flavors, it will definitely be a delicious and unique dish.
