Braised river shrimp

Braised river shrimp

Overview

There is a kind of freshness that is comparable to chicken essence, and there is a kind of freshness that does not require chicken essence. I like the freshness of river shrimp so much that I can’t help but buy it every time I see it.

  5. Add appropriate amount of water and cook. When the water is dry, add salt, sugar, a little light soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar to taste. Drain the water and serve. (The umami flavor of the river shrimp itself is enhanced by adding sugar, so there is no need to add chicken essence in this dish.)
