Let's gather around the warm fire, savoring the delicious and fragrant shrimp cake. It will be an unforgettable experience during your trip to Thanh Hoa.
 

To create the distinctive flavor of Thanh Hoa shrimp cake, this dish requires a combination of several ingredients, including fresh shrimp, rice noodles, and sticky rice.

- Fresh shrimp: Shrimp are carefully selected, must be fresh, firm, and have a pink-red color. Shrimp are cleaned, peeled, heads removed, black veins removed, then mashed.
- Rice noodles: For the rice noodles, choose fresh ones that are moderately thick and chewy.
- Sticky rice: Sticky rice is cooked until soft, then mixed with mashed shrimp meat, and seasoned with ingredients such as dried shallots, garlic, pepper, fish sauce, sugar, etc.
 

On the outside, Thanh Hoa shrimp cake features a thick and chewy layer of rice paper, wrapped around a dense and evenly golden-brown filling. Each piece of shrimp cake is typically about half the length of a finger and tightly rolled, presenting an appealing appearance.

With just one bite, the distinctive flavor of Thanh Hoa shrimp cake is sure to make you forget your way home. Authentic shrimp cakes must be grilled over charcoal, imbuing them with a smoky aroma, even browning, and a crispy texture. The slightly charred, glossy exterior of the shrimp cake, accompanied by raw vegetables and sweet and sour fish sauce while still piping hot, enhances the flavor of the dish.
 

Thanh Hoa shrimp cake can be enjoyed at any time, but to fully appreciate its distinctive flavor, it's best enjoyed on a winter day or when the weather starts to cool down. The feeling of sitting around a glowing charcoal stove, grilling each skewer of shrimp cake, chatting with friends and family, is an unforgettable memory.

Thanh Hoa shrimp cake is best enjoyed when it's piping hot, freshly taken off the charcoal grill and dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce. The dipping sauce is the soul of this exquisite dish. If desired, you can enjoy it with pickled sweet and sour vegetables to enhance the flavor.
