Dalian Shrimp Paste

Dalian Shrimp Paste

　　The shrimp paste in Dalian mainly refers to the variety made by different restaurants, often served with scallions and local flatbreads such as salted fish pancakes—offering a delicious flavor. There are also canned, ready-made shrimp pastes, which are generally not highly rated by locals. Typically, there are only two ways to eat it: one is to mix it with an egg, a little chopped scallion, and salad oil, then steam it and eat it with scallions and flatbread; the other is shrimp paste tofu—just add the shrimp paste, a little water, and simmer it slightly.
