Chef's tip
Coconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning.
1 tbsp shaoxing wine
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient note
Fresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp white pepper
Ingredient note
White pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid white pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 green onions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
Ingredient note
Interstitial cystitis flags onions because alliums can irritate a sensitive bladder, but this recipe uses only the milder scallion green tops, which is likely fine for most. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

1
Coarsely chop half the shrimp into rough ¼-inch pieces and set aside. Place the remaining shrimp in a food processor and pulse 6–8 times until a coarse paste forms — you want texture, not a smooth purée.
2
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp paste, chopped shrimp, ground pork, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, white pepper, salt, cornstarch, and green onions. Stir vigorously in one direction for about 2 minutes until the mixture is cohesive and slightly sticky — it should hold together when pressed.
