There are many reasons why shrimps don't bounce. It may be that there is no lime or the ratio of clear lime water to rice paste is wrong, or it may be that the cooking time is not long enough and the rice paste stops before it is cooked. It is difficult to cook shrimp salad at home. It was difficult to grasp the proportion at first. You can try to cook it several times to sum up your experience and make delicious cold shrimp.

Cold shrimp is a kind of folk snack, which is smooth and refreshing, soft and waxy and sweet. It is made by boiling rice slurry and leaking it into a cold water basin with a colander. Because the head is big and the tail is thin, it looks like shrimp, so it is called cool shrimp. Add brown sugar water, and it will become a summer dessert.

When making shrimp salad, we first soak rice in water for 30 minutes, then grind it into rice slurry and pour it into a basin. Fill the jar with clean water. After the fire boils, slowly pour in the rice slurry and stir it with a spoon to prevent the pot from being burnt.

After cooking, pour clear water into the pot and boil it into a paste with low fire. Put the cold boiled water into the basin, and slowly add the rice paste into the colander while it is hot. It will fall into the cold water and become rice shrimp. Then, boil the brown sugar into syrup, dilute the boiling water and let it cool. Finally, take out the rice shrimp with a colander and put it in a bowl, and add brown sugar water.

It should be noted that when we make cold shrimp, we don't choose ordinary lime, but pebble ash unique to Zigong area, because this kind of lime contains high calcium content and makes the food more delicious.
