- 3 Tbsp Cornstarch
- Vegetable Oil, for frying
- 1 pack Baby Greens
Special Tartar Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Finely Chopped Onion
- 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Vinegar
- 0.5 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 0.5 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp Mustard
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Finely Chopped Onion
- 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Vinegar
- 0.5 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 0.5 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp Mustard
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all the ingredients for the dish. Thaw the frozen shrimp, cook the somyeon noodles, and measure out the ingredients for the tartar sauce.
Step 2
The pre-cleaned frozen cocktail shrimp do not require further preparation. Soak them in cold water for about 5 minutes to thaw, then rinse them 2-3 times under running water and pat dry. Ensure they are clean and ready.
Step 3
Place the thawed shrimp in a bowl and add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Toss gently to coat each shrimp evenly with a layer of starch. This coating will ensure a wonderfully crispy texture when fried.
Step 4
Take a portion of the cooked somyeon noodles and wrap them around the body of each shrimp, coiling them tightly. Wrapping the noodles securely will help maintain a beautiful shape during frying.
Step 5
Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a pot to approximately 170°C (340°F). Carefully place the shrimp and noodle rolls into the hot oil, one by one. Fry until they turn a beautiful golden-brown and become crispy. Your delicious Shrimp & Noodle Rolls are now ready!
Step 6
While one fry results in a satisfying crispiness, you can achieve an even more pronounced crunch by frying them a second time. Double-frying makes the coating firmer and helps it stay crispy for longer.
Step 7
Now, let’s make the delightful tartar sauce. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of finely chopped onion, 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 0.5 tablespoon of lemon juice, 0.5 tablespoon of brown sugar, 0.5 tablespoon of mustard, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. You’ll have a creamy and flavorful tartar sauce.
Step 8
Arrange a bed of fresh baby greens on a serving plate. Place the warm, freshly fried Shrimp & Noodle Rolls on top of the greens. Just before serving, generously drizzle the prepared tartar sauce over the rolls. Your elegant Shrimp & Noodle Salad is complete! Enjoy this delightful dish.
