Hong Kong Tai O Shrimp Paste Block 300g

A piece of Hong Kong’s shoreline larder. Crafted in Tai O from small shrimp and salt, then sun-fermented, this block delivers clean, rounded umami with a supple, smooth texture. Shave a little and melt in hot oil to unlock depth in wok-fried greens, steamed pork belly or ribs, aubergine claypots and fried rice. Toast a slice in oil with garlic, dried shallot and dried shrimp to make your own shrimp sauce at home. It is a quiet but powerful Cantonese flavour that elevates everyday cooking.
