You may choose to enjoy a single-side crispy or double-side crispy texture, which depends on whether you fry one side or both sides; this is at your discretion.12. If you want to fry both sides, turn it over and drizzle a little oil, then fry until golden brown. This is the method for making the base of Two-Sided Yellow Cake, which is the same as traditional Shanghai potstickers and pan-fried buns. However, the oil content is significantly reduced.
13. After peeling the shrimp, rub with salt, rinse clean, add a little baking soda and mix well, then rinse thoroughly to remove the baking soda taste. Season with salt, egg white, and dry starch for coating, then refrigerate for at least one hour for marination. 14. After marinating, cook the shrimp in the style of stir-fried shrimp and pour over the Two-Sided Yellow Cake. (In winter, it is recommended to process both items simultaneously in two separate pans; otherwise, the Two-Sided Yellow Cake may cool down too quickly. Traditionally, the topping may include a starch-thickened sauce, but you can adjust according to your preference. Ultimately, there is no absolute standard of authenticity; what suits your taste is authentic.)
