Many years later, I stepped into the kitchen of catering service industry, and with the improvement of living standards and the acceleration of reform and opening up. These childhood gourmet snacks also entered the table. For example, before or after a hot pot meal, we always like to serve a small bowl: cold shrimp, cold cakes, ice powder and other small iced desserts.
Shrimp powder is mostly rice flour. You can also use 500 grams of corn starch, add 500 grams of water and 50 grams of lime water to make a water starch paste, boil 8 kilograms of pure water, and finally slowly pour the rice paste into the pot. Cook the rice paste slowly until it is shiny. Scoop the cooked pulp into the colander, and then shake the colander easily. Slowly drop the rice paste into the cold water in the basin through a colander for solidification, and scoop up the rice paste one by one to form a small shrimp with a round head and a thin tail. Finally, rinse with clear water until cool.
Chop 500 grams of soldiers' brown sugar, put it in a pot, and add 500 grams of water to boil. Turn the heat down for 5 minutes, add 2 slices of lemon and let it cool completely. It can be made into syrup.
When making, scoop 2 spoonfuls of cool shrimp, add 1 spoon of brown sugar water, and add hawthorn slices, white sesame seeds, peanuts, raisins and mint leaves as summer desserts.
Cold shrimp is a very common snack, produced in Yichang, Sichuan and Chongqing, Hubei. Smooth and delicious, soft and sweet. It is made by boiling rice slurry and leaking it into a cold water basin with a colander. Named after a shrimp-like head with a big tail, add brown sugar water. It's a summer dessert.
According to legend, a long time ago, Peng and his mother lived by the Three Gorges. One winter, it snowed heavily. My elderly mother was ill and wanted to have a bite of shrimp by the river. Hearing this, the son braved the cold and came to the river to catch shrimp for his mother. When he reached the river, he found that the river had already frozen, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not open the ice. In a hurry, he simply unbuttoned his clothes and lay on the ice to melt the ice with his body. Soon, he fainted. In the dream, an old man with a white beard said to him, don't you want shrimp? I will teach you ... young people wake up, rush home, cook shrimp in the old man's way and feed it to their mother, who miraculously wakes up. Later, this method of making shrimp spread among the people, and people called it "Peng Guihua's cold shrimp" or "petty bourgeoisie's cold shrimp".

Manufacturing steps of self-refrigeration shrimp
Step 1
First, melt the brown sugar with boiling water and put it in the refrigerator.
Second step
Pour water into the pot (depending on how much cold shrimp you want). When the water is about to boil, pour the starch into the pot. At this time, the most important thing is to add starch and turn it clockwise with a spoon, that is, stir the starch and water evenly, and don't let the starch pilling in the pot. When you see that the addition is almost the same, that is, the mixture of water and starch becomes paste, and the unclear one is fine.
Third step
Turn off the fire, put a leaky sieve on the top of the pot, add cold water to the pot, then pour the starch paste in the pot into the sieve with a spoon, and stir the starch paste clockwise with another spoon while leaning against it.
Fourth step
What leaks into the basin becomes the shape of cold shrimp. Change the basin of water after eating, and just add brown sugar water before eating.
Because I'm learning to cook shrimp salad recently. So I didn't know until a few days ago.
Cold shrimp is a very common specialty snack in Yichang, Hubei Province, which is refreshing, tender and sweet. The main thing is to cook the rice slurry and leak it into a cold water basin with a colander. Because the head is big and the tail is as thin as shrimp, it is named, and then brown sugar water is added. It's a summer dessert.
There is another story about its name. There is a mother and son living in the south of Yichang. One winter, my old mother was ill and wanted to eat river shrimp. My son braved the cold and came to the river to get shrimp for his mother. Only when he reached the river did he find that the river was frozen. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break the ice. He lay on the ice and melted it with his body. Passed out. While he was asleep, an old man who fainted taught him how to make shrimp powder. I woke up suddenly, went home and cooked shrimp according to the old man's method and fed it to my mother. My mother's illness has actually recovered. This method of making shrimp spread among the people and was named "filial son's cool shrimp".
Later, the practice evolved into many kinds, and there was no unified practice.
I tried for two days, but I haven't succeeded yet. It will be finished.
You can watch my video production process. I can cook delicious cold shrimp, so can you.
