Let's learn how to make shrimp floss for your beloved child.
Ingredients:
- Fresh tiger prawns: 1kg
- Fish sauce: 2 tablespoons
- Cooking oil: 1 tablespoon
- Lemongrass: 1 stalk
- Ripe baby jackfruit: 1 fruit
Instructions:
- Rinse the tiger prawns thoroughly after purchasing.
- Clean the lemongrass, remove the older outer layers, then slice thinly.
- Split the ripe baby jackfruit, extract the red seeds inside.
- Steam the prawns with lemongrass until fragrant, then transfer to a bowl of cold water, without steaming them in excessive water. Once the water boils, open the lid to prevent the prawns from being overcooked. After about 2-3 minutes, the prawns are cooked.
- Let the cooked prawns cool, then peel them: first, remove the prawn heads and legs, then peel off the shells. Use a knife or scissors to cut along the back. Split the cut part and remove the black vein, then rinse again with water.
- Divide the prawns into portions and put them into a mortar. If you're short on time, you can use a blender to grind the prawns. Note to only grind them slightly, using your hands to check the consistency. Then, mix the ground prawns thoroughly with the jackfruit. Once done, the shrimp floss will have a beautiful color.
- Combine the shrimp meat mixed with jackfruit in a pan with cooking oil, fry until dry, add fish sauce to enhance flavor. While frying, use a large spoon to vigorously stir the shrimp mixture so that when cooked, it forms strands and has a fluffy texture. Stir continuously until the shrimp has a fragrant smell and turns a beautiful golden color.
Avoid frying the shrimp mixture too dry as it won't taste good, but if it's too moist, it may become moldy and cannot be stored for long. Keep the heat low and gentle; if the heat is too high, the small strands of shrimp will quickly burn.
- Once cooked, transfer the shrimp floss into a tightly sealed jar, leaving the strands fluffy as they are. Do not press the shrimp floss tightly, or it won't taste good.
