About

Let me tell you how I make my Shanghai Rolls st home.I love to do it because it is very easy and I can freeze them too so that anytime I need it, I can just thaw and cook.But the most exciting part of this is how you make the sauce or dipping.You see the sauce or dip matters to us.You wont really enjoy these rolls if you havent got the best dip for it.Children may not realize it but for older people like me, I need a very good dipping sauce and please I prefer the homemade one.I bet many will agree with me.
