    You don't need to put in baking soda. If you put in shrimp, the tissue will be fluffy and crispy. In the final thickening step, I even used some shrimp oil unnecessarily, which was really superfluous to the lily. Shrimp meat must be used fresh, and the taste is really different. It is best to choose green shrimp. The salt was added three times, but actually only one teaspoon was used because it was washed off after pickling. 0.5 teaspoon of pickled shrimp and thickened portions for the second time.
