Steps

  1. I used medium shrimp. Peel them, remove the digestive tract along the back, and season with mirin (cooking rice wine), salt, and ground black pepper.

  2. Add 3 tbsp potato starch and the beaten egg white together, then mix and massage into the shrimp.

  3. Fry once, remove from the oil, and fry once more until golden brown.

  4. Place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  5. Cut the broccoli into bite-size pieces and blanch briefly in boiling water.

    Drain through a sieve to remove excess moisture and let cool.

    Peel the mandarin orange, separate the segments, and cut each in half.

  6. Add all dressing ingredients in the specified amounts and mix until the sugar dissolves.

    Using lemon juice instead of vinegar gives it a cleaner flavor.

    Adjust the amounts of sugar and vinegar to your taste.

    Arrange the microgreens, broccoli, mandarin orange, and shrimp evenly on a plate, then drizzle the dressing over top to serve.

    Try sprinkling chopped peanuts or other nuts at the end to add a nutty flavor.
