Tips for a Perfect Stir-Fried Dried Shrimp with Spring Onion Recipe

• Soak the Shrimp: Before cooking, clean the dried shrimp by rinsing them at least three times with water. Then, soak them in warm water for about 5 minutes to rehydrate and remove excess salt.

• Onion Leaves: Many people add onion leaves with the onions, but this can cause them to lose their flavor through overcooking. Add the onion leaves later in the cooking process to keep the taste of Kanda Bhaji intact.

• Cooking Time: Avoid overcooking the shrimp as they can become tough and lose their flavor. Stick to the recommended cooking time for the best results.

• Serving Suggestion: This dish tastes amazing as a side with fish curry and rice. Give it a try and enjoy the delightful combination!
