Fresh Shrimp Zhaliang

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate shrimp with salt, white pepper, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca starch, water, cooking oil, and salt (for rice rolls). Whisk until smooth and lump-free.

3. 3

   Heat a steamer. Lightly oil a heatproof plate or shallow pan. Spread a thin layer of rice noodle batter onto the plate. Arrange some marinated shrimp and a few pieces of youtiao on top of the batter.

4. 4

   Steam for 2-3 minutes until the rice noodle sheet is cooked and translucent, and the shrimp turn pink.

5. 5

   Carefully remove the cooked rice noodle roll from the steamer. Using a scraper or spatula, gently roll up the sheet, ensuring the shrimp and youtiao are encased. Repeat with the remaining batter, shrimp, and youtiao.

6. 6

   Cut the rolled zhaliang into bite-sized pieces. Drizzle with sweet soy sauce and sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds (optional) before serving hot.
