DH really to a liking to these, but I didn't care for them as much Part of it was the overall recipe, the other part was operator error. The shrimp cake was very bland. I thought the vinegar was too overpowering in the sauce, but I'm not a huge vinegar fan. I added some sweet chili sauce and a little sesame oil to try and fix. Be sure to firmly shape the shrimp cakes - *this is a must. Mine kept falling apart while they were frying (operator error). My oil was too hot for the first few I fried (another operator error) so they were a little overcooked. I will probably make these again upon DH's request and do a little more tweaking.
