Creative shrimp cake

Chop the pork into minced meat, 30% fat and 70% lean, which is more suitable for meat filling

Add a little salt, sugar, chicken essence, light soy sauce, cooking wine, and minced ginger to the minced meat filling. Use chopsticks to stir vigorously in one direction. You can also add half an egg white. The texture will be smoother. Stir well and set aside

To process the shrimp, wash the shrimp, remove the shrimp head, shrimp thread, and peel off the shrimp shell. Leave the last section of the shrimp tail without removing the shell, so that the steamed finished shrimp will be more beautiful on the plate

Use a knife to cut the shrimp in half from the abdomen, making sure not to cut off the back

The cut shrimps look like this, marinate with a little cooking wine and pepper for a while

Apply a layer of oil in the egg tart mold to prevent sticking. If you don't have an egg tart mold, you can use a small plate dipped in vinegar instead. Put the shrimp back into the mold, remembering to expose the shrimp tail, so that it will look better after steaming

Fill the meat filling into the mold and press it on top of the shrimp. Press the middle of the meat filling with your fingers to make it slightly concave and slightly lower than the surrounding area

Put a quail egg on each meat filling. The reason why the middle of the meat filling should be pressed down a little is so that the yolk of the quail egg will be firmly fixed in the middle, and the finished product will be beautiful and consistent in appearance

Turn on high heat and steam for 12-15 minutes. The time will vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of the meat filling. Wait a few minutes to see if the quail eggs are solidified. It doesn't matter if you steam for a few more minutes. The texture of the meat filling will not be old. Of course, don't steam it for too long

After steaming, use a toothpick to make a circle around the edge of the meat filling. It is easy to remove from the mold because the mold is greased. In fact, it is very delicious to eat it directly at this time. If the shrimp tail curls up and does not look good, you can use a toothpick to fix it between the shrimp tail and the meat filling, but be careful not to eat the toothpick when eating

Put a little water in the pot, drop some cooking oil, add salt and chicken essence to taste, blanch the green vegetables in the water, put a little oil in the water, the blanched vegetables will be greener

Place the green vegetables around the shrimp cakes, pour a little water into the pot, add salt to taste, thicken a thin layer of gravy, pour it on the shrimp cakes, and you're done

Put this shrimp cake in hot pot in winter, it is excellent
