Tips:
1. Simple shrimp meat has a dry taste. Putting a little pig fat on it will moisturize and taste tender. There is no need to put starch in the shrimp, and there is no need to put eggs, water or cooking wine.
2. Spinach is rich in oxalic acid. Using it without blanching will affect the absorption of calcium in the body, and it will also have a slight astringency in the mouth.
3. After the shrimp balls are cooked, there will be some white foam, which is a nutrient substance, so you don’t need to skim it.
