Crab shell roe is one of the top ten famous pastries in Shanghai, made from fermented dough and fried dough to make crispy cakes with skin and filling. The finished product is brown yellow in color, with a crispy and fragrant taste, and its shape resembles a cooked crab shell, hence the name. The traditional Dim sum in Shanghai is generally divided into salty and sweet ones. The round ones are salty and the sweet ones are conical or long. This distinction between salty and sweet has been deeply rooted for us, and it is clear at a glance. The Dim sum made at home is different from the authentic one. The only difference is the taste of the finished product. It's really great. You can try it if you like
