Chinese Trinidadian Stir-Fried Shrimp with Rum

By Grace Young

When I was in Trinidad, Winnie Lee Lum showed me how to make this superb dish, which beautifully demonstrates the convergence of Chinese and Trinidadian cooking traditions. Of course, the taste was extraordinary because Lee Lum only cooks with fresh local shrimp that her husband, Tony, purchases for her. Before cooking, she rinses the shrimp in lime juice, a Trinidadian cooking practice said to remove the “fishy” taste.

Crêpes with Shrimp and Green Papaya (Lumpia Sariwa)

By Andrea M. Aranas, Author, The Filipino-American Kitchen

Lumpia is the general Filipino term for “egg roll.” Sariwa means “fresh.” Together lumpia sariwa is a spring roll made with a delicate egg crêpe filled with any combination of meats, seafood, pickled vegetables, and herbs. I have to admit that lumpia sariwa was never an everyday dish in our home but a specialty served at celebrations and gatherings. However, nothing more than a little organization is required to make this recipe any day of the week.
