Fashionably Tall & Slim Shrimp Rolls


In Hong Kong, it is all about fashion.

What are so NOW at this very moment?
1.
Rain boots: they are all over the city, in a myriad of colors (I am sooo out as I don't own a pair T_T)
2. Baseball caps, worn just barely touching your head, could be blown away by wind as strong as 0 mph (unless glued down by excessive hair products)
3. Long t-shirts, bearing English sentences with severe grammatical/typo errors, worn to reveal 1 shoulder (cos revealing both shoulders are just so wrong! It's all about asymmetry, baby!)
4. Super short shorts, preferably shorter than the long t-shirt

In terms of spring rolls (or egg rolls)...those stubby short ones or the triangle ones are so OUT! The food fashion police is seeing the long thin ones everywhere! Just like size -2 Eurasian supermodels taking over Hong Kong's hottest clubs, these slim rolls are taking over hottest snack joints. My wild guess is because they don't need as much fillings (LOL).

I might be out of style in terms of dressing myself appropriately for the rain, but I am determined to try for once, to be tall and slim. Or at least my shrimp rolls should be :p

Fashionably Tall & Slim Shrimp Rolls

Recipe
- 1 pound medium shrimps, just turned pink, remove excess water, season in salt, pepper and sugar
- 1 packet of spring roll pastry
- olive oil for frying
- water & corn flour to seal the pastry
- damp towels to prevent the pastry from drying out

Follow 3 easy steps below to roll these babies:





and fry 'em in high heat until golden...wow, aren't they HOT?

Dip-A-Dip Dip
I did a Creamy Sesame Dip
- A couple of tablespoon sesame paste
- A dash of fish sauce
- A dash of Kecap Manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce)
- chopped chilli
- chopped corriander

If only eating these will get myself taller and slimmer .....

I love your diagrams! If eating these will make me taller and slimmer then I'll eat them everyday! They look delicious and fun, but chances are I'll just get shorter and stouter ;)
