Shrimp roe is an American Chinese dish made with an omelette and vegetables. Shrimps are low in calories but can be polluted and cause allergies. The dish is prepared with vegetables, gravy, and cooked shrimp, and can be served with different sauces.
Shrimp roe is an American Chinese dish consisting of an omelette with this mollusk, also typically served with a vegetable medley. Shrimps are a common food source providing numerous nutrients and few calories, although pollution and allergies are problems with their consumption. They must be thoroughly prepared and cooked before being added into the omelette, which is usually served with a gravy or sauce. Cooking the dish requires a small amount of prep work, including cutting the vegetables and preparing the gravy.
While the traditional young foo egg uses diced ham, the shrimp version features these cooked shellfish. Other common ingredients include fresh greens, as well as bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and diced cabbage, water chestnut, and onion. In addition to shrimp roe, variations of the dish are also served with pork, chicken or beef, and occasionally lobster.
The preparation for making the shrimp roe young requires cutting all the vegetables and preparing the gravy in advance. The latter is made by mixing the liquids with a small amount of cornstarch and simmering it for two minutes, before removing it from the heat. A whole egg is scrambled and poured into a pan or griddle over low heat. The chef may have to manipulate the batter to get a large, flat, round disc. As the egg solidifies, chopped and chopped fresh greens are added and the omelet is folded over during the last few seconds of cooking to blend the ingredients.
Several distinctive spices and flavors can be found in shrimp roe for juveniles. In most parts of the United States, a soy-based gravy, oyster, or sweet and sour sauce is often served with the dish. Vinegar and ketchup can also be incorporated into the garnish.
Shrimps are crustaceans commonly consumed by humans, fish and animals. They are high in calcium and protein and low in calories and are considered a low-fat alternative to richer meats. They are tolerant of pollution, so uptake of toxic chemicals by their predators is sometimes a problem. They are also a common allergen to humans, so those consuming this dish should be careful if they have had any previous reactions to shrimp.
Crustaceans have a leathery shell that must be removed before eating and are also usually spiny. For a dish such as young crayfish roe, the tails are removed in advance. Instead of being buttered, the shrimp is diced or cut into small pieces for this meal. They must be precooked before being incorporated into the young egg to prevent food contamination.
