DEFINITION

Noun

A collective term for meat rolls seasoned with five-spice powder, shrimp crackers, Chinese sausages and other Hokkien-style deep-fried specialty snacks.

由来
  • 福建话 ngoh heong hei pia 的意译。
  • “五香” 指福建地区的传统小吃五香肉条（也称五香卷），主要以豆皮包裹剁碎的五花肉、马蹄、青葱、各种香料等炸制而成。
  • “虾饼” 的做法是将鲜虾摆放在混合了面粉、淀粉、蔬菜丝及香料的面糊上，然后进行油炸，炒制成酥脆的饼状小吃。
  • 除了主要的五香及虾饼，五香虾饼也包括灌肠、豆干、鱼圆等油炸小吃。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “五香虾饼” originated from the Hokkien term ngoh heong hei piah.
  • “五香” refers to meat rolls seasoned with five-spice powder (also known as “五香卷”), a traditional snack from Fujian province, China. These are made with chopped pork belly, water chestnuts, shallots and various spices wrapped in beancurd skin and deep-fried.
  • “虾饼” is made with prawns in a batter consisting of flour, starch, shredded vegetables and spices, which are then deep-fried into a crispy cracker.
  • In addition to meat rolls and prawn crackers, this term can also refer to Chinese sausages, dried beancurd, fishballs and other fried snacks.
