Happosai (八宝菜)
What kind of dish is Happosai⁇
SOMI SHANTAN = Seasonings frequently used when making Chinese food in Japan Shrimp＝Ebi（エビ）
Stir-fried shrimp and vegetables seasoned with SOMI SHANTAN. It has a light and salty taste. The amount of soup is large, so it’s delicious to eat over rice.
Shrimp is low in calories, low in fat and high in protein, so it is recommended for dieters. Compare with skinless chicken breast, which is also used as an ingredient for dieters. 100g of skinless chicken breast has 105kcal and 23.3g of protein, while 100g of shrimp has 82kcal and 19.6g of protein.
Shrimp is a great alternative to skinless chicken breast.
I use a type of shrimp called Whiteleg shrimp. Whiteleg shrimp is called “vannamei shrimp” in Japan. It is a variety available at any supermarket.
Depending on how the shrimp is prepared, the finish and taste of the dish will differ. Washing the shrimp well and removing the dark streaks on their backs will remove the unpleasant odor. It’s a little troublesome, but let’s do it properly.
