And, do make sure it is stirred in ONE direction (I use a pair of chopsticks). To perfect the action, it might need some practices, the more the paste is glued together and stickier it is, the more springy it will turn out. The other way you may try is to scrap the shrimp paste altogether with a spatula (or even with your hand) and throw it into a bowl. Repeat the action until the paste becomes sticky. Before stirring, make sure the salt and corn starch are added into the paste. Quality shrimps also help; we won’t be able to make bouncy paste from deteriorated shrimps. Take note of the first step: put it in fridge before use. Have fun cooking! @Ruru,
