Method

Pound the coriander roots and peppercorns into a fine paste in a mortar. Heat the peanut oil in a wok and fry the paste for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and stir for less than 1 minute. Stir in the fish sauce then remove the mixture to a plate to cool. Wipe out the wok, pour in the vegetable oil and bring to medium heat. Make egg nets as in Fundamentals, Chapter 3.
