Use a pair of chopsticks or a large spoon to stir the flour while slowly adding the ice water to form a thicker batter. It's ok if the batter is a little hard to mix. Remember not to make the dough too thin, otherwise the pancakes won't be crispy. It's okay if there are a little lumps in the batter at this time. Cover the batter and let it rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.Step 3
Wash and drain the river shrimp, add 1/4 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of cooking wine, mix well and marinate for 20 minutes. This snack is best made with small river shrimps. The fried shrimps can be eaten with their shells and taste very good.Step 4
Wash and cut the leeks into sections, wash and drain the bean sprouts and set aside. Take the batter out of the refrigerator, mix it smoothly and then add the bean sprouts and leeks. If the batter is too thick and cannot be stirred, add a little water to thin it out.Step 5
Heat an appropriate amount of cooking oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Put the shrimp cake mold into the oil and heat it together so that the shrimp cake can be easily removed from the mold later. If there is no mold, you can also use a wok or a larger spoon instead.Step 6
