About

Acquired tastes are my kinda thing, and this is one: the salty, faintly pungent and fishy, with the bland, the velvet and the slippery. If salt-fish eludes you (it’s an Asian shop thing), use salted anchovies instead - but not the olive oil canned one.

Ingredients

3 cm piece fresh root ginger, peeled and shredded
2 tbsp canned bamboo shoots, drained
5

Method

Put the ginger, bamboo shoots and 2 spring onions, roughly chopped, into a processor and blast until finely chopped. Add the prawns, 1 tbsp each soy sauce and rice wine, 1 level tbsp cornflour, 1 tsp salt
