Method

  1. 1 Peel the burdock root, slice it into thin strips, and soak it in diluted vinegar water for 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Squeeze the burdock root strands thoroughly to remove excess water; if any water remains, the fried dumplings will be soggy and won't stick together.
  3. 3 Peel the shrimp, cut them into small cubes, and mix them with burdock root strips.
  4. 4 Mix wheat flour with cornstarch, eggs, and a very small amount of water to form a paste, just enough to coat the yarn.
  5. 5 Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into 170-degree oil, then flatten them with the spoon.
  6. 6 Fry for 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then remove and place on paper towels to drain, and dip in soy sauce.
