O specialitate vietnameză celebră și rafinată: pastă fragedă de creveți aromatizată cu usturoi, ceapă eșalotă și sos de pește, modelată pe tulpini parfumate de lemongrass și rumenită la tigaie, servită cu tăiței de orez și ierburi proaspete.
Preparation method
Preparing the shrimp paste
Peel the shrimp, devein them, rinse with cold water, and dry them very well with paper towels to ensure a firm mixture.
Place the shrimp in a food processor along with the chopped garlic, shallots, fish sauce, brown cane sugar, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Blend until you get a smooth, sticky paste.
Trim the lemongrass stalks, removing the dry outer layers and trimming the ends, leaving aromatic stalks about 12-15 cm long.
Chef's tip
For the perfect paste consistency, the shrimp must be very cold and completely dry before blending.
The lemongrass infuses the meat from the inside during cooking, providing a fresh citrus note unique to Vietnamese cuisine.
