Shrimp Spring Cake

Shrimp spring cakes are a popular dish commonly found in Chinese-Vietnamese restaurants in the United States. They are a variation of spring rolls, but instead of being wrapped in rice paper, they are formed into small patties or cakes and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown.

The filling of shrimp spring cakes typically consists of small, peeled, and deveined shrimp, combined with various seasonings and aromatics like scallions, garlic, ginger, and sometimes bamboo shoots. The mixture is then wrapped in a thin dough made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes tapioca flour, and then formed into small patties.

Shrimp spring cakes are often served with a sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce, or a spicy chili sauce for dipping. They can also be found in various regional Chinese and Vietnamese dishes, such as stir-fries or noodle dishes.

If you're interested in trying shrimp spring cakes, you can find them on the appetizer menu at many Chinese or Vietnamese restaurants. They are usually served as an entrée or as part of a larger meal.
