Best Ways to Prepare

• The 5-Minute Rice Bowl: "Simply squeeze over a bowl of hot steamed rice, add a splash of soy sauce, and enjoy a premium Chirashi bowl at home."
• Amaebi Tartare: Mix the cold paste with a little bit of finely chopped chives and a dash of citrus (sudachi or lime). Serve it on top of a chilled sliced cucumber or a rice cracker.
• Tempura / Fried Shrimp Patties - Most popular cooking method for this type of paste.
  - Mix the paste with a little bit of cornstarch or egg white to help it bind.
  - Add chopped spring onions or water chestnuts for crunch.
  - Form into small, flat medallions and pan-fry in a little oil until pink and opaque (about 2 minutes per side).
  - Pro Tip: You can also "sandwich" a layer of this paste between two thin slices of lotus root and deep-fry it.
• Luxury Pasta Sauce - Amaebi paste is essentially a "flavor bomb" for seafood pasta.
  - Sauté garlic and chili flakes in olive oil.
  - Deglaze with a splash of white wine.
  - Turn the heat to low and stir in the Amaebi paste.
  - Toss with spaghetti and a little pasta water. The paste will melt into a rich, sweet, orange-tinted sauce.
• Steamed Dim Sum style
  - Squeeze small dollops of the paste into wonton wrappers or on top of tofu squares.
  - Steam for 4–5 minutes. The texture will be very soft and bouncy.
  -💡 Pro Tip: Best enjoyed chilled to highlight its natural sweetness!
  

Storage Instructions:

• 🧊 Keep frozen at -18°C until ready to use.
  
• ❄️ Once thawed: Store in the chiller (0–4°C) and consume within 24 hours for best quality.
  
• 🚫 Do not refreeze after defrosting to maintain the delicate sashimi-grade texture.
  
• 🫙 If you don't plan on using the whole block at once, partially thaw it just enough so you can cut the block into halves or quarters with a sharp knife. Put the unused portions back in a freezer bag and return them to the freezer immediately. Do not fully thaw and then refreeze.
