There are two ways to make shrimp slices with potatoes. One method is to use potato powder instead of 10-20% starch. The manufacturing process is the same as the traditional method. After adding whole powder to shrimp slices, the nutritional value and expansion degree of shrimp slices have been improved.
Another method is to use fresh potatoes, through a series of processing processes, to make products similar to shrimp slices, called potato chips and shrimp slices. Potato chips and shrimp slices are eaten in the same way as sea shrimp slices.
Potato chips and shrimp slices are easier to dry-fry with hot oil than shrimp slices, and there is no disadvantage that shrimp slices are easy to regain moisture and are not brittle. Potato chips and shrimp chips are characterized by crispness, delicacy and rich nutrition, and have a unique fragrant flavor when chewed.
Key points of making shrimp slices:
Selecting, cleaning, peeling, making potato chips and shrimps should be free from diseases and insect pests, mildew, germination and dehydration. After selecting the raw materials, rinse them with water and peel the washed potatoes.
The stripping method can be manual stripping, alkali soaking stripping or chemical stripping agent stripping. Immediately put peeled potato chips into clean water to clean the residual lye or chemical stripping agent to prevent browning due to exposure to air.
Slicing is to cut peeled and washed potato pieces into small pieces with a thickness of 0.2 cm.
Slicing can be done by slicer or by hand. Cut small potato chips should be put into clear water or color protection solution immediately, and stirred up and down to wash off free starch and solanine stuck on small potato chips.
Cooking is to pour the soaked potato chips into a boiling water pot (ensure the color of the potato chips with stainless steel pot) and cook for 3-4 minutes. When the potato chips are ripe but not rotten, remove them quickly and put them in cold water.
Gently turn and stir, let the potato chips cool thoroughly as soon as possible, and clean up the starch paste, sticky foam and other things on the potato chips, so that the potato chips are not sticky.
