Make shrimp paste

Soak the shrimp, rinse thoroughly, and mince into a smooth paste. Transfer the paste to a porcelain bowl, add cooking wine, MSG, sesame seeds, starch, egg white, and salt, stir until well combined to form a shrimp paste, then squeeze into small round shrimp balls by hand.

Fry

Heat a wok and add peanut oil. When the oil reaches approximately 40% of its smoking point, turn off the heat, then add the shrimp balls one by one. Once all shrimp balls are in the wok, turn the heat up to high, use a slotted spoon to continuously turn the shrimp balls, fry until they are golden brown, then remove with the slotted spoon and drain excess oil.
