Category : noodles  |  Style : deep-fry  |  Serve : 4 - 5  |

Ingredients

Method :

• If using somen noodles, cover it with boiling water and leave to soak for 1 - 2 minutes, then drain and dry thoroughly with kitchen paper and cut noodles into 7 cm lengths. ( If using vermicelli, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 1 - 2 minutes to soften, then drain and set aside).

• Cut nori sheet into 1cm  X  5cm strips and set aside.

• Prepare the dipping sauce by bringing the soy sauce to a boil in a small saucepan with the sugar and ginger and allow to simmer for 2 - 3 minutes, then strain and set aside to cool.

• Line up the noodles on a flat surface. Straighten each shrimp by pushing a bamboo skewer through its length, then roll the shrimps in the noodles so that they adhere in neat strands.

• Moisten one end of the nori strips and secure the noodles at the fat end of each shrimp.

• Heat sufficient oil in a wok with a wire draining rack. Lower gently and fry the shrimps, two or three at a time, until the noodles are crisp and golden.

• To finish, cut through the band of nori with a sharp knife, exposing a clean section of the shrimp. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the dipping sauce in a small dish.
