| 1. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over moderate heat. | 2. Add the onion and shallots and saute until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer onion mixture (not the juice) to a bowl and add the egg white, fish sauce, salt, sugar, garlic, white pepper, cornstarch and baking powder. | 3. Add the shrimp and toss well. | 4. Transfer the shrimp mixture to a food processor and process until almost smooth but still lumpy. Transfer the paste to a bowl, scraping the work bowl clean. | 5. Stir in the scallions. (If the paste is not cold, refrigerate at this point to stiffen it.) | 6. Quarter the sugarcane pieces lengthwise, or halve them if they're small. Wet your hands with cold water. Place 2 tablespoons of the shrimp paste in the middle of your palm. Place a piece of the sugarcane on top and mold the paste around it. (The paste should be about 1/4 inch thick and about 2 1/2 inches long). | 7. Gently press the paste against the stick so that the edges are sealed. Set the shrimp stick aside on an oiled plate. | 8. Repeat with the remaining sugarcane and paste. | 9. Oil a steamer basket and place the sugarcane sticks in a single layer. | 10. Steam until the shrimp paste turns pink, 2 to 3 minutes. You can make this dish in advance up to this point. | 11. To finish, grill or broil the shrimp sticks until the paste is hot inside and slightly charred around the edges. | 12. Serve immediately with accompaniments as described above. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
