Job operation
There are two main processing methods of shrimp skin: boiling and steaming. Boiling is a traditional processing method, which is widely used. Its processing method is as follows:
1, raw material treatment: Before cooking, raw shrimps must be classified according to their mass. Shrimp mixed with sand and dirt must be washed with clean water. Shrimp, small fish and important things should be removed. To avoid skin sticking, raw shrimp should be soaked in cold water (preferably ice water) for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Boiling: clean drinking water is boiled, and the weight ratio of water to raw materials is 4: 1. 5%-6% salt is added according to the weight of water. Boil the salt water first, then put the raw shrimp into the pot. Boil shrimps for about 6 minutes per pot. In the process of cooking shrimp, shrimp materials should be stirred in the same direction along the pot with a colander to remove floating foam on the water surface. Take the shrimp out of the water. If the shrimp shell turns white quickly, it means it is ripe and can be taken out immediately. Add an appropriate amount of salt to each pot to keep the concentration of salt water. After about 5 pots of cooking, the salt water has become turbid and needs to be replaced in time.
3. Drying: There are two drying methods for shrimp skin: sun drying or oven drying. Put the cooked shrimp in a basket, drain it and expose it to the sun. In case of rainy weather, spread a thin layer indoors to dry, and do not pile up, so as to avoid overheating and deterioration of shrimp materials. When going out to bask in the sun, spread the shrimp on the straw mat or bamboo curtain and turn it properly to make it dry quickly and evenly. If possible, the cooked shrimp can be evenly spread on the bamboo curtain after it is slightly cold, and then pushed into the drying tunnel for drying. The temperature of the drying tunnel should be kept at 70-75℃ for 2-3 hours.
4. Shelling: Shelling can be done by shrimp sheller or by hand. Hand-peeled shrimps have bright colors, complete individuals and high yield. You can peel a small amount of shrimps, or you can put the shrimps in sacks, and smash the sacks on the concrete floor or slate with both hands to take off the shrimps.
5. Packaging: the shrimps are screened and graded, and packaged according to the size and appearance quality. It can be quantitatively packed in small plastic bags, generally 500g per bag,1000g, and finally packed in large paper boxes.
Shrimp skin without pigment is red, but the meat inside is yellow and white, while shrimp skin and meat with pigment are red. Because pigment basically has no smell and taste, it can't be felt by nose or mouth. If conditions permit, you can soak a few pieces of dried seaweed in clear water first. If ordinary pigment is added, the water will turn red.
How can consumers distinguish the quality of dried seaweed?
First of all, from the color point of view, the top grade is bright yellow or reddish, and this dried seaweed is made in sunny days. Dark and not bright, mostly dried on rainy days. The same batch, the best color is the same, there are more than two colors, most of them are of poor quality, and some are mixed, belonging to fake and shoddy products.
Secondly, from the physical point of view: the shape of shrimp skin is curved, indicating that it is processed with live shrimp, which is due to the gradual death and contraction of live shrimp. On the other hand, most shrimps are processed with dead shrimps if they are straight or not curved. It is best to choose the kind with clean meat fat, no skin, no claws and no empty shells.
In addition, consumers should also look at the impurities in dried seafood products. The dried seaweed is symmetrical in size, and those without impurities and other fish and shrimp are the top grade. When buying dried seafood, grab a handful of dried seaweed and squeeze it hard to see if it can stick together. If they stick together, it means that the dried seaweed has a lot of water and is easy to rot and deteriorate. Fresh dried seaweed tastes delicious and smells no peculiar smell. Stale dried seaweed is dark in color, incomplete in individual and full of shrimp shells. Yin finally said that it is also easy to distinguish the quality of dried and fresh seafood from the taste. Take a piece of dried seaweed and chew it in your mouth, feeling fresh and slightly sweet as the top grade. Products with heavy salt taste are of poor quality, and products with heavy salt taste than other abnormal tastes are of poor quality. [ 1]
