Vietnamese Shau Mai

This is another shau mai recipe that I think is much easier than the one I posted on November 15, 2013. At this time, I use shrimp instead of all ground turkey and chicken.  The tomato sauce is quite simple and tasty. I love to have shau mai stuffed into a baguette.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. ground turkey
1/3 lb. shelled shrimp, diced
1 egg white
1 tbs fish sauce
1/2 tsp each of salt, sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper
1 tbs cornstarch
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, chopped
Sauce ingredients:
1 cup tomato, chopped
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tbs honey
2 tsp cornstarch

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine turkey, shrimp, egg white, fish sauce, sugar, salt, black pepper, cornstarch, garlic, and green onions. Mix well.

Shape into balls and place on a steam plate.

Steam meatballs over high heat for 15 minutes.

 

In a saucepan, add sauce ingredients and bring to boil. Simmer until thickened. Pour over the meatballs and serve.
