Dishes
Five-Color Sesame Wasabi Shrimp BallsFive-Color Sesame Wasabi Shrimp Balls are a creative fusion dish. Fresh shrimp are minced into a paste, mixed with a small amount of fatty pork or egg white for tenderness, shaped into balls, and then poached or lightly fried to set. The exterior is evenly coated with toasted sesame seeds in white, black, and yellow colors. The core flavor comes from a specially prepared wasabi sauce, typically based on green wasabi and blended with mayonnaise, condensed milk, etc., to create a complex dipping or drizzling sauce. The dish features tender shrimp balls, crispy sesame, and a prominent yet not overpowering wasabi flavor with subtle sweet and creamy notes.
