Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 6-8 dumpling wrappers
  • 100 g frozen shrimp paste (squeeze directly from package)

Sauce:

  • 1 tbsp dried shrimp skin
  • 1 tsp white sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp chopped scallions
  • ½ tsp chilli oil (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • ½ tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp hot soup water (from boiling the 'noodles')

Optional:

  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • More chilli oil for spice

Instructions

  • Defrost the shrimp paste: Let shrimp paste soften. Cut a small hole in the package corner.
  • Fill and stretch the ‘noodles’: Lay a wrapper flat, squeeze two thin lines of shrimp paste, fold in half, and seal the edges tightly. Gently pull both ends to make it longer. Repeat for all.
  • Boil the ‘noodles’: Drop noodles into boiling water. Cook 2–3 mins until they float. Save 2 tbsp hot soup water.
  • Make the aromatic sauce: In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp dried shrimp skin, 1 tsp sesame seeds, 1 tbsp scallions, ½ tsp chilli oil, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, ½ tsp dark soy sauce, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp oyster sauce, and 2 tbsp hot soup water.
  • Combine and serve: Add noodles to sauce, mix well, garnish with scallions or sesame oil, and enjoy!

Notes

🦐 Shrimp Hack: Just cut a small corner of the shrimp paste bag and squeeze — no mess!
🍜 Texture Tip: Don’t overcook — the noodles should be soft and chewy.
🍃 Add Veggies: Add bok choy, spinach, or bean sprouts for freshness.
🥡 Storage: Eat fresh if possible. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 1 day and reheated with a splash of water.
