Fold the spring roll wrappers up. Cut the spring roll wrappers into tiny strips using a pair of scissors. Cut them into shorter strips. Lay them on a flat surface. Wet your hands and form the shrimp paste into balls (about 1 tablespoon) and roll the shrimp balls onto the bed of spring roll strips. Use a heavy weight knives and you can get the same result. The spring roll strips will stick to the shrimp ball, as shown on the picture below. Roll lightly to make it stick like a ball. Trim it with scissors if needed - to ensure it is a ball. |

Ensure the oil is very hot. Deep fry the shrimp balls in a deep fryer or wok until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Dish out, drain on paper towels and serve hot with Thai sweet chili sauce or your favorite chili sauce. Note : If oil is not hot - the dim sum will get soggy. You may correct this problem by soaking the dim sum in the hot oil again, but you need to check the brownness or the color of your dim sum. his method is also use for reheating this meal. |
