Shrimp Paste and Bok Choy Soup

A springy-textured soup of hand-chopped shrimp paste whipped with egg white and starch into bouncy dumplings, poached alongside crisp baby bok choy in a light savory broth.

    Peel the shrimp, remove the vein, and wrap the shrimp meat.

    Set aside four shrimp and cut them into small cubes, and chop the remaining shrimp into a paste; this way, the texture will be good.

    Add an appropriate amount of starch and continue stirring in one direction until it feels slightly elastic.

    Scoop the shrimp into small balls with a spoon, dipping the spoon in water each time to prevent sticking. You can also squeeze them by hand.

    Refrigerate for 2 hours.

    Wash the rapeseed.

    After the water in the pot boils, add the shrimp paste.

    When the shrimp paste changes color, it's cooked. Add the bok choy and blanch until it changes color, then season with a little salt, pepper, and a few drops of sesame oil.
