Shrimp Cheung Fun

20240311 #breakfastdiary 999, 1°C/cloudy, 21 min/exercise (Y) The old Korean word behind 'morning' carried the sense of 'not quite, still too early,' and is thought to have evolved step by step into today's word. Whether it goes back to when mornings still felt like 'too early,' or even further — this has apparently been a breakfast staple in China's Guangdong region ever since: #ShrimpCheungFun Dip rice paper in lukewarm water and lay it flat, place 4 shrimp and minced chives on top, wrap it up, brush the outside with oil, and steam. Plate it and pour over a dressing made by mixing 2 parts soy sauce, 2 parts mirin, and 2 parts plum extract. Sprinkle with minced chives. ☝️If you want the chewiness of the original cheung fun, try layering two sheets of rice paper. Just don't oversteam it, or you'll end up with shrimp rice porridge — keep it light~😃 Recipe adapted from @_watermel.0n.
