海老のマヨネーズ和え-Mayonnaise Shrimp

dscn28771海老のマヨネーズ和え

 

Mayonnaise shrimp is very popular Chinese dish in Japan.  In china, the taste and ingredient of Mayonnaise shrimp is totally different by the location such as Shanghai style, Sichuan style, and Southern style.  

 

Since shrimp is coated in batter with potato starch, it has great crisp texture.  The most common recipe is dress fried-shrimp with rich mayonnaise-based sauce. 

 

There are many different types of sauce for Mayonnaise shrimp.  All of the sauce base is mayonnaise. 

One style is mixed with condensed milk and heavy cream, and seasoned with salt and pepper.  Another style is mixed with ketchup and honey.  My favorite style is the sauce mixed with sweet chili sauce.

 

I liked the sauce with sweet chili sauce because the taste of sauce is very rich and have a little spicy flavor.  This type of sauce is very good to eat with rice and fit for drinking such as beer.

酸辣湯, Suan La tang is Chinese spicy hot and sour soup.

 

Suan La tang is one of the most famous soup in Chinese dishes.  Soup contains rice vinegar and black pepper which makes very spicy and sour taste. 

 

The main ingredients for traditional recipe are chicken/pork, tofu, shiitake mushroom, jew’s-ear, bamboo shoot, and spring onions.  I think if you went to Asian food market, you can find jew’s-ear.
