These crispy fried taro shrimp fritters are a comforting dim sum favorite that evoke nostalgic flavors. With a savory mix of shrimp and taro, seasoned perfectly and deep-fried to golden perfection, they make for a delightful treat.
1: Prepare ingredients. Slice taro into thin slices. Cut into shreds.
2: Smash shrimp and chop into a paste.
3: In a bowl, season the shrimp paste with salt, sugar, chicken bouillon, and white pepper. Add fatty pork and mix well.
4: In a bowl, season taro with salt, sugar, chicken bouillon, and white pepper. Add glutinous rice flour (or cornstarch) and water to create a wet batter for a binding effect.
5: Transfer taro mixture into a baking sheet. Shape the shrimp into balls. Cover each shrimp ball with taro. Press them together and shape into a patty. Set aside.
6: Heat a pot of oil to 350°F. Deep fry the taro shrimp fritters for about 3 minutes or until golden brown.
7: Remove from the oil and set aside on a plate lined with paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
8: Enjoy!
