What is shrimp chip made of, and why does it expand so much when fried?
Is it sodium carbonate that, when subjected to high temperature, releases gas and causes expansion?
Starch expands when exposed to high temperatures, and its expansion coefficient is very high. The remaining moisture in the shrimp strips evaporates rapidly, creating a crispy structure filled with bubbles. Use a lighter to burn the vermicelli and see what happens
Shrimp flakes, also known as jade flakes, are traditionally made by combining shrimp juice with starch. If shrimp chips are made from potatoes, the product has its unique qualities and is very popular. There are two methods for making shrimp chips from potatoes. One involves using potato flour to replace 10–20% of the starch; the production process remains the same as the traditional method. By adding this flour to the shrimp chips, their nutritional value and degree of expansion are increased. Another method is to use fresh potatoes and go through a series of processing steps to create a product similar to shrimp chips, known as potato shrimp chips.
Only after reading this did I understand what shrimp chips are. . . It’s similar to the Ma Ye De in our family. I’m going to search on Baidu for information about this snack from our area, so as to promote it. . .
I used to like it a lot when I was young; I haven’t eaten it for many years now.
The main ingredient in shrimp flakes seems to be starch; it’s not clear what other additives are used
