Ingredients for Green beans wrapped in meat For 2 people
Green beans 300 gr Minced pork 200 gr Shrimp 100 gr Sweet corn 50 gr Minced shallots 2 tablespoons White wine 1 tablespoon Soy sauce 1 tablespoon Minced ginger 2 tablespoons Cooking oil 2 tablespoons Ground pepper 1 teaspoon Seasoning powder 1 teaspoon
How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- Choose shrimp with a clear outer shell and still have a slight smell of seawater, not foul or fishy.
- Choose shrimp that are slightly curved, firm to the touch but not unusually fat, with joints on the shrimp’s body not disjointed, and the head and body of the shrimp firmly attached to each other.
- Avoid buying shrimp that have dark patches or inconsistent colors or are slimy.
Prepare the green beans
Wash the green beans thoroughly, trim off the two ends, and leave them whole.
Place a pot of water on the stove, add the green beans, turn on the heat, and bring the water to a boil to cook the beans. Boil for 3 – 5 minutes until the beans are just tender.
Remove the green beans and soak them in cold water for about 3 minutes to cool them quickly and make them crispier.
Then, remove the beans and let them drain.
Mix and marinate the shrimp and meat
Add the minced shrimp and meat into a bowl. Season with 1 tablespoon of white wine, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of minced ginger, 2 tablespoons of minced shallots, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder.
Mix well and let it sit for about 10 minutes for the shrimp and meat mixture to absorb the seasoning.
Shape the rolls
Wrap the green beans into 3 small circles, then use the leftover ends of the green beans to tightly wrap around so that they don’t fall apart. The wrapping method is similar to making a flower bouquet.
After wrapping the green beans, place a spoonful of the shrimp and meat mixture on top, and finally add a kernel of American corn.
Continue until all ingredients are used up.
Fry the Bean Pods Wrapped with Meat
Place a pan on the stove and heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the meat-wrapped bean pods and fry until golden on both sides.
