Springy Prawn Balls | Q弹虾滑 Recipe by Zhenyang Xue
Cooking Instructions 3-5 mins, preparation 10-15 mins 1 Step 1: Rinse & Dry Rinse chilled prawns to remove residue or defrost frozen prawns. Pat dry thoroughly with kitchen paper. Tip: Keep the prawns as dry as possible to achieve the ideal texture. 步骤 1：清洗并擦干 清洗冰鲜虾仁去除粘液（或解冻冷冻虾仁），用厨房纸充分擦干表面水分。 提示：虾仁越干越好，口感越Q弹。 2 Step 2: Chop & Mince Finely chop and mince prawns into a paste, leaving small chunks for texture. Use the back of a knife for extra elasticity. Tip: A slightly chunky paste gives a springy bite. 步骤 2：切碎并剁泥 将虾仁切碎后剁成泥，保留少量颗粒。用刀背剁压增加弹性。 提示：保留颗粒感让口感更有层次。 3 Step 3: Season & Mix Add sugar, salt, black/white pepper, cornflour, and Shaoxing wine (or brandy) to the paste. Tip: Stir in one direction for even seasoning and better binding. 步骤 3：调味并混合 将虾泥放入碗中，加入糖、盐、黑/白胡椒粉、淀粉和黄酒（或白兰地）。 提示：顺时针或逆时针搅拌，保证调味均匀、易成型。 4 Step 4: Mix & Slap Mix thoroughly in one direction. Optionally, lift and slap the paste into the bowl for elasticity. Tip: Slapping enhances the springy texture. 步骤 4：搅拌与摔打 沿同一方向搅拌均匀，必要时将虾泥提起摔回碗中数次增强弹性。 提示：摔打动作能让虾滑更弹牙。 5 Step 5: Shape & Cook Scoop paste into a ball using a spoon and slide it into boiling water. Tip: Use chopsticks or another spoon to form perfect balls. 步骤 5：整形并煮熟 用勺子舀起虾泥，配合筷子或另一只勺子整形成球状，放入沸水中。 提示：轻轻刮入热水，确保形状圆润。 6 Step 6: Simmer & Serve Once prawn balls float, simmer briefly, then serve. Tip: Test the centre of the first ball for doneness and be cautious of the heat. 步骤 6：浮起并上桌 虾滑浮起后再煮一会儿即可捞出食用。 提示：先尝一个，确认中心熟透，注意防烫。 1 Step 1: Rinse & Dry Rinse chilled prawns to remove residue or defrost frozen prawns.
