If you love tempura, you will absolutely love Taiwanese Shrimp Rolls. They are somewhere between Vietnamese spring rolls, Japanese shrimp tempura and fish and chips. This recipe for how to make Taiwanese shrimp rolls focuses on how to make this delicious seafood filled umami snack at home. But we are also diving into the history of Japanese tempura. Did you know it's not actually Japanese in origin... but Portuguese?

One of the upsides for using rice paper instead of pork fat here is that you can eat this, even if your diet doesn't allow for pork.

@pr1ngle. 8 месяцев назад

yo theres a theory that the portuguese got the frying food in batter thingy thing from its colony in goa where they made pakora (basically same thing but made with chickpea flour)

@meptalon 8 месяцев назад

you don't even need to go into such lengths really. See my comment. That food looked like nem, and sure enough, the rest of the video confirmed.

@Kiwi0008 8 месяцев назад

Entertaining and educational video. I was under the impression, this channel might have jumped the shark. Thumbs up (and fingers crossed for the future).

@fabiancbarrio 8 месяцев назад

Interesting, caul fat is used in a Cypriot recipe, sheftalia, exactly in the same way. I loved the video, thanks, Andong.

@Demasx 8 месяцев назад

This is an amazing discovery for me, I've been to Taiwan four times and I've never seen or heard of this before! I can't wait to taste it!

@jennychuang808 8 месяцев назад

As a Taiwanese, I am sorry that your theory about the shrimp roll might be wrong . It is actually Zheng Chenggong, Prince of Yanping and his army took to Taiwan. It is a Fujing food

@mynameisandong 8 месяцев назад

Caul fat rolls are established in Fujian (and maybeTeochew) cooking, but I believe those aren’t battered - that‘s where the tempura influence comes in for me

@SpongeBoss 8 месяцев назад

I tried this recipe just now and wow, it was even better than I expected. I dont often try recpies from youtube but I'm really glad I tried this one!

@Voicelet 8 месяцев назад

As someone who like to eat both dishes on occasion, I'd say one is not a substitute of the another: Shrimp Roll being more of a complete and filling dish, while Tempura being more of a side dish and/or component of others. Tempura is not that hard to make once you get the knack of it, which might take many tries, but when you get the hang of it though, it's waaay quicker and easier than Shrimp Roll. Oh and you can find frozen Tempura too. Just toss them in an air fryer and you'll have an adequate lazy-guy Tempura to quench your craving.

They sell something very similar in the Chinese restaurant in my town, but with a different filling: pork, mushrooms, noodles (rice or soy noodles I guess, I know they use them as a filling in Vietnam as I can recall) and carrot. They appear as Vietnamese Rolls in the menu and they are pretty good! Thanks for sharing this :D

@Pammellam 8 месяцев назад

Deep fried spring rolls are a thing in Vietnam too.

@meptalon 8 месяцев назад

Yes, that's exactly what I commented on. This is nem. No need for a history course and maybes and theories. Nems as they are cvalled in Vietnam are one of the most iconic foods there

@petrelli231 8 месяцев назад

I've been looking for this recipe for decades; they sold these at my local Walmart when I was a kid but I never knew who to ask, now my soul can finally rest.

caul fat is amazing, it's used to wrap fillings in many traditional cuisines, back in Roman times too. tiktokers get icky at organ meat and whole fish but will gobble pink slime weiners and sugar-oil slop all day

Yakisoba is also Portuguese! And a favourite food of mine!

@pr1ngle. 8 месяцев назад

nah yakisoba isnt portugese its a product of chinese immigrants coming to japan from the colonies around the 30s

@TristanBehrens 8 месяцев назад

Im a little confused by the idea that making a shrimp farce, wrapping it in rice paper, battering it and then frying is somehow simpler than battering a shrimp and frying it?

@theabactor9561 8 месяцев назад

Hey Andong! Random question, but how did you find those beautiful images of Portuguese sailors and the like? Curious about your research process

@chrisalan5610 8 месяцев назад

@kingoffongpei 7 месяцев назад

You think this process of wringing out shrimp, chopping it in a food processor, wrapping in rice paper, dredging, battering, deep frying, cooling, and frying for a second time is easier and more streamlined than.... dipping a shrimp in batter and frying until crisp?

@garth56 8 месяцев назад

You want lumpy batter so don't whisk it just stir it gently with chopsticks, leave the lumps in you def don't want any gluten. It's also good to sprinkle the frying rolls with a little more batter. Love prawns 🙂

@Grossvatti 8 месяцев назад

Hi Andong, as you are fan of Taiwan - is that the way to make Samosas to "Formosas"? 😁

@maryantczak 8 месяцев назад

Love this video! So much history, thank you! I have a question. The 225 grams of shrimp, is that after you squeezed the water out? Thank you in advance for the answer.☺️

@mynameisandong 8 месяцев назад

that’s before squeezing! i got 150-175 after squeezing.

@maryantczak 8 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for your response.☺️

@lexsongtw 8 месяцев назад

For me, the caul fat is the highlight of the dish. Sadly, we have to forgo in this homemade version.

@annbrookens945 8 месяцев назад

You don't have to forego it; just roll your own in the "wrapper" of your choice! Andong is showing his audience an accessible recipe. If they can't get caul fat or are icked out by it, they can use easily acquired rice paper.

@RaymondCore 8 месяцев назад

I have everything but the green onions which I'll get tomorrow. Spring rolls with the crunch of egg rolls; Want. Update: I let the rice paper beat me. Either they were too dry and stiff or too wet and falling apart. They swelled up into a bubbly mess (was that egg white leaking out). I did three; all failures so I bought some wonton wrappers and made some fine wontons. I like the educational factor in your channel. Thank you.

@fearofmusic1312 8 месяцев назад

Not sure if that helps in your case but a way to get rice paper soft enough for folding but not too soft and soaky, is to use a wet kitchen or paper towel that you previously just dipped in water (and squeeze out enough if it is dripping) and then just brush that over the rice paper until it becomes foldable.

@oldage001 8 месяцев назад

Looks super tasty and easy

@higashirinchiah1013 8 месяцев назад

I'm surprised you can't find caul fat from the butcher. Caul fat tend to melt after frying, i doubt it has similar texture with rice paper roll

@jettavinsenty3981 8 месяцев назад

fry twice? quelle idee!

@kushkoon6105 8 месяцев назад

@spinetribal 8 месяцев назад

Seems good but HOW IN THE WORLD is this easier than: whole shrimp > tempura batter > oil? It makes no sense.

@durdudunsanders680 8 месяцев назад

This looks like a good way to do tempura when you have cheap quality shrimps, since you are covering too much of the flavor

@lexsongtw 8 месяцев назад

It's just traditional ways to repurpose low-quality ingredients, like in sausages, meatballs, or hamburgers.

@wolfman011000 7 месяцев назад

1 question and 1 comment. Would using the liquid squeezed from the shrimp add anything of value flavour wise to the batter mix? About the wasabi alot of brands seem to be mostly horse radish with a touch of real wasabi and some colouring to cut costs. We have found that buying the more expensive wasabi to saves us money as you use alot less, horseradish sauce on it's own is pretty cheap. Ask your local butcher for caul fat, we get it to make the traditional f@ggot meatball recipe. Sorry about using the @ sign for the A but youtube has banned the word ignoring the context or meaning with there normal disregard for common sense just using the blessed AI algorithms from our overlord skynet. Thank you for the recipe, Take care, God bless one and all.

@maxsmith8196 8 месяцев назад

i don't get why people like tempura so much tbh, it's alright but i'd rather have chinese or american fried food most of the time

@dwaynewilson8919 8 месяцев назад

Should there be less pink in the thumbnail? It make it look bland.

@smartinezai 8 месяцев назад

Did you at least use real wasabi?

@lexsongtw 8 месяцев назад

Nah, let's use imitation wasabi like an authentic Taiwanese here.

@RaymondCore 8 месяцев назад

Real wasabi never leaves Japan as it is grown in running water and not conducive to mass farming.@@lexsongtw

@lexsongtw 8 месяцев назад

@@RaymondCore Not true, we do have real wasabi in high end sushi restaurants. If you mean growing wasabi in Taiwan, we also have good locations to grow wasabi like in the Alishan area. Still very expensive.

@biggusballuz5405 8 месяцев назад

This is NOT linked to tempura, or even exactly 'Taiwanese' at all. Deep fried caul fat rolls is a traditional Chinese culinary method, mostly found in imperial cuisine dating back centuries. Such a cooking method is still common in Chinese banquet dining, including Fujian where Taiwanese are mainly from, and this is pretty much a simplified version of the imperial recipe by excluding pork mince and using whole prawns instead. The easy version you did is what's commonly done for household cooking as well.

@meptalon 8 месяцев назад

Waited a lot to confirm... no need to go though a whole history of blabla... this is no tempura. Rolls made with rice paper and fried: man, that's nem in vietnam. Probably one of the most iconic foods there after Pho. This is no Taiwan invention.
