Many friends will have such doubts. Frozen shrimps bought from the supermarket look white and tender. After being fried, they will shrink very small and have a very woody taste. It is difficult to make the taste of crystal shrimp in restaurants. Why is this? The key to production is the sizing of the shrimp. The sizing of meat raw materials is a very technical work. This is a skill that requires a lot of practice and constant summary. The sizing of each raw material has its own key points. Every step must be done, instead of simply mixing salt, starch, and egg white together to succeed. Let’s make a lily shrimp today and demonstrate the sizing process of shrimp by the way. "

Tips:

The main points of sizing:

1. The principle of sizing and tenderizing is to make the raw materials more tender and easier to mature if they absorb more water and do not produce water during cooking.

2. Add enough salt. The amount should be neither salty nor light. Too salty is not good, but if it is weak, the water will fail.

3. The stirring should be sufficient to make the slurry feel strong, so that the moisture can be better locked.

4. It is better to put the pulped raw materials into the freezer and let it stand for 1-2 hours before use.
