Steps
Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.
- Peel half of the prepared shrimp, remove the innards, and mince finely.
- Remove the innards and shells from the remaining shrimp, split them about 2/3 of the way in half, and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the minced shrimp with the beef, add the garlic, and let the seasoning soak in thoroughly.
- Blanch the broccoli, cool it, and chop it; chop the carrot and onion, lightly brine them in salt, and remove the moisture.
- Add the prepared vegetables (4) to the seasoned ingredients (3), loosen the starch and egg, and mix evenly.
- Lightly sprinkle the split shrimp with starch, shape the mixture (5) into meatballs and place them on the shrimp, and steam in a steamer for about 10 minutes to finish.
💡 TipChopped shrimp, rich in calcium and taurine, makes the dish tasty with little sodium, which reduces the sodium content.
