金丝虾 (Prawns Wrapped In Golden Vermicelli)
Dinner @ "郑厨私房菜", a home-style restaurant, opened by the Chairman of the Chaozhou Culinary Institute, himself the son of one of Chaozhou's 4 famed chefs of the past. Tucked away at a hard-to-locate corner of the city, I absolutely love the humour of the sign outside the restaurant stating "酒香不怕巷子深" (If the food and wine are good; one is not afraid to venture down deep alleys for them)
This is not an easy dish to prepare: LOOKS deceptively simple.
Each individual prawn is wrapped with strands of rice vermicelli and then deep dried until golden.
The rice vermicelli became enticingly crunchy but yet they protected the prawn within, so that the prawn became cooked without losing its moisture and so retained a sweet moistness.
