Steamed Prawns with Shaoxing Wine and Egg White - 花雕蛋白蒸虾

Steamed Prawns with Shaoxing Wine and Egg White – 花雕蛋白蒸虾

The best and simple way to showcase the goodness and “sweetness” of fresh seafood – Steam it with less seasoning. My personal favourite in this recipe is the egg. It is nicely incorporated with the liquid from the steamed prawns and the aroma of Shaoxing wine. Really, it is da bomb!
