    The goal of SauceStache is to continue trying something new, something new to me and something different.
    I find inspirations from you the SauceSquad and my constant hunt of social media to see what food is being made around the globe and how can I try to make it. Lets try to make some food and have fun!!

They can be synthetically created for mass production, but they are present naturally in a variety of things. There, just don't eat a kilo of them, just like you wouldn't eat a kilo of carrots in a row 😉

    To give it a shrimpy red color, consider adding Annato powder, found in your Asian market. It's pretty flavorless and used often for color the way turmeric is. That way you don't have to give yourself a hard time incorporating beets.

    @Sauce Stache You know what I love with this video? That the first attempt didn't worked. I am so tired to hear always, oh it taste soo good and is so convincing. I am cooking very regularly and pretty good (sous vide and everything). But my problem is, that with my growing skills my skepticism also grows (unfortunately not only to my own food, but I have got troubles to go out, and enjoy really the food).
    By the way - I think one ingredient is just challenging and you can get a far better substitute: calcium chloride is just very difficult to work with. It was never meant to be used in spherification (but outside) - I used it in cocktails, and I hated most of the outcomes (cocktail liquids are often far more delicate as savory food). The workaround: Calcium lactate - which is used for reverse spherification. It is far milder in taste and doesn't have the bitterness... you're welcome!

      ...so I have researched a bit the whole shrimpy thing of New Wave.

This looks very unusual to me. 100% plant based and vegetarian but not vegan?

    Cauliflower shrimp taste great. It's just cauliflower stalks cut to shrimp size, cooked in seaweed water. Salt. Lemon after cooking. Dip in cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, lemon garlic pepper sauce, soy sauce, yum yum sauce and it basically tastes exactly the same as shrimp with similar consistency.

For tempura, i will pipe it straight and press the ends like a shrimp tails before it hardens, then batter and fry!. also, try making a small batch with more beetroot powder and line or press it at one side of the piping bag and pour the rest of the mix, so that as you pipe, the "shrimp" will have a line of red part that will simulate the cooked shrimp more.

    I did my first attempt at this tonight! Ordered the chemicals from Modernist Pantry. Also, I ordered some lobster mushrooms from Oregon Mushrooms with the idea of incorporating them into this shrimp recipe. My lobster shrimp looked and tasted better although just the basic shrimp tasted good as well. I sautéed the lobster strips and dipped them into the alginate batter, then into the calcium chloride water and let them float a short while. This way the batter made a smooth blanket over the mushroom strips and it seemed to work and look much better than when I tried to form shrimp from the batter by hand. It's real easy to mix too much chloride into the alginate batter and have it solidify a bit too much and develop too stringy a texture to form solid shrimp that won't fall apart. I have photos but on my phone don't see a way to share them in this comment. I'm making my shrimp to do a vegan gumbo this weekend. Thank you so much for posting this video on making shrimp! These may not look all that great but definitely tast so much better (and cook better) than a lot of the veggie yam and konjac powder shrimp and prawns I've bought through Asian suppliers in the past. Those look perfectly like shrimp but taste nothing like seafood and do not cook well at all!

      @@nooksinbloom I actually used to buy algae oil at Walmart and I can't recall the name of the company but I believe they unfortunately went out of business during the first year of the covid pandemic. I haven't seen any algae oil offered since then. However, in my above comment I was not speaking of algae oil but of the alginate batter solution used to make the shrimp.

    OMG, I'm so excited about this video. Thank you so much. The thing I miss the most is shrimp. I've been trying to make them myself and I tried ones with gluten but came out flavourless and colourless. I've seen vegan shrimp in the market made out of konjac or soy, so I think those two ingredients may work (maybe soy flour mixed with beetroot and algae). I'd really like to try out your recipe and see how it comes out. Please keep on making these fish-shrimp videos!

    I was totally expecting konjac to show up in this video, since all commercial shrimp (AFAIK) aside from New Wave Foods' is made from it. There's actually a book by The Gentle Chef called "The Gentle Sea Cookbook" where he has a recipe for vegan shrimp that uses tofu and konjac. You can find some pictures of it on his website, and the way he shapes them is genius (you can see this on his RUclips channel).

    Those look great! Love how you stumbled upon the perfect texture. You could dust them with some tomato powder after they’re formed for the color. My question is, Does sodium alginate become firm when exposed to any kind of calcium? ( If so, calcium carbonate solution would be so much more tasty : ) Thank you for All of the wonderful videos!

    In the Fiji Island, they sell daruka roots. You try with this. It have very delicious test.
    Another suggestion is.
    Chinese people make some recipe from patoto. Patoto and corn starch. They steam it.
    It becomes transparent. You try with this.
    Another suggestion is.
    You dry the white reddish a bit and use it.
    Another suggestion is,
    You come to India state Bihar, try
    on singhadha or sakarkand both is sweet. Use fresh sakarkand......not dried but singdha you can try dried powdered.
    Use dry drum sticks powder. You scrape drum sticks, crush it. It's very delicious and sweet as shrimp.
    Experiment with different ingredients. I am only giving you base. Either you crush the roots or pieces and cover it with your ingredients.
    Use alarot. Bhartiya name for binding. It's transparent and very smooth in texture.
    Don't use calcium chloride.
    Use all natural ingredients.
    If you will grade the raw material, you will get crab or shrimp like texture.
    All the best. Rest you know.
    Namh shivay.

    The tiny shrimp mould is because in other countries shrimp are named for tiny shrimp. Larger sized shrimp are known as prawns. So maybe checking for a prawn mould might do the trick?
