How to prepare Fried Shrimp Rolls
-
Preparing the shrimp
To eliminate the fishy smell of the shrimp, dissolve 1 spoon of salt in 300ml of water, soak the shrimp for about 5 – 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly 2 – 3 times with water. After that, take the shrimp out to drain.
Once the shrimp is clean, remove the head and shell, then gently make a cut along the back of the shrimp with a knife and slowly pull out the black vein to remove it.
Methods to clean shrimp without fishy smell:
- Method 1: Sprinkle cornstarch over the shrimp. Cornstarch will help eliminate the fishy smell and absorb any dirt still clinging to the shrimp, then rinse the shrimp clean.
- Method 2: Soak the shrimp in diluted saltwater or a little white wine, gently squeeze with your hands to clean the shrimp. Then rinse thoroughly with water and the shrimp is ready for cooking.

Boil the scallions
Pick the roots off the scallions, remove the wilted leaves, then wash them clean and let them drain.
Put a pot on the stove over medium heat, add 200ml of water and bring it to a boil. When the water is boiling, drop the scallion tops into the water for about 30 seconds, then add all the scallions and blanch for about 2 minutes before removing them to drain.

Fry eggs and tofu
First, you put a non-stick pan on the gas stove, then add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the pan. When the oil is hot, add 3 beaten eggs into the pan and fry them for about 2 minutes.
After taking the fried eggs out onto a plate, continue to add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil into the pan. When the oil is hot, add all the sliced tofu and fry for about 8 minutes until both sides of the tofu are golden brown.

Final Product
Green onion rolls have very eye-catching colors, combining many ingredients harmoniously with the rich taste of the sweet and sour dipping sauce. This dish is very suitable for family meals.
How to Choose Fresh Green Onions
- Fresh green onions will have a dark green color from the root to the tip, except for the white part of the bulb, with leaves that are not wilted or bruised.
- One of the signs to recognize fresh green onions is that the roots are white. If the roots are white, it means the onions have just been harvested, so they will still be fresh. Conversely, onions that have been stored for a long time will have yellowing or decaying roots.
- You should not buy if you see onions showing signs of being dry, wilted, or rotten, and if the roots are not intact.
How to Choose Fresh Shrimp
- Fresh shrimp have translucent shells, straight bodies, and the legs and head are firmly attached to the shrimp body, with flexible joints.
- Preferably choose firm shrimp, with slightly closed tails rather than spread out.
- Do not buy shrimp that are soft and mushy, have a foul smell, have missing legs or heads, are curved, and have a cloudy color.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- You should choose carrots that have a deep orange color, bright and firm bodies. Preferably select those with green tops tightly attached to the body of the carrot.
- Fresh and delicious carrots are those that have a balanced size, are elongated, with a large top that gradually narrows towards the tail, and have smooth, shiny skin.
- Do not buy carrots that are scratched or bruised too much, or have wilted tops, as these are no longer fresh and delicious.
