Sweet and Sour Sauce
Method
Make the filling
- 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped shrimp, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, grated ginger, and green onions.
- 2
Add beaten egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Mix until the mixture is cohesive and holds together when pressed.
Prepare wrappers and zucchini
- 3
Slice the zucchini lengthwise into thin ribbons. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 4
Lay out a wonton wrapper. Place a teaspoon of filling near the bottom edge, lay a zucchini ribbon on top, and fold and seal the wrapper around the filling using a dab of beaten egg as glue. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Cook the bundles
- 5
- 6
Fry the wrapped bundles in batches until the wrappers are golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Sweet and sour sauce
- 7
In a small saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice, rice vinegar, sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- 8
Make a slurry by whisking cornstarch with water, then whisk into the simmering sauce. Cook 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens.
Serve
- 9
Arrange the golden shrimp bundles on a platter and drizzle with warm sweet and sour sauce or serve on the side for dipping.
