Rinse, pat dry shrimp and dice it into very small pieces and add to minced pork. Add seasoning into pork and shrimp mixture, stirring and mixing together into a paste. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Divide shrimp & pork paste into 12 portions. Add each portion to a piece of bean curd square. Wrap up and seal edges with a little shrimp mixture.

 

In wok or non-stick saucepan, heat enough oil for deep-frying over high heat until very hot. Add in bean curd parcels. Deep-fry over medium heat until bean curds are puffed and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.
