2. Cut the radish into uniform sections, then cut into finger-thick radish slices, and then cut into index finger-thick radish strips. Because radish contains a lot of water, the evaporation of water will shrink slightly after drying, so radish strips should be larger.
3. Put the cut radish strips into a large basin, sprinkle salt on each layer, and then dip each radish strip in salt evenly. The purpose of sprinkling salt is to kill some water, leave a bottom taste for dried radish and shorten the drying time when drying. Pickling takes 1 hour, and water comes out.
The second part is drying.
Drying is an important link in making dried radish. Try to choose a ventilated and sunny day to dry.
1. Squeeze some water from dried radish by hand, and spread it flat on a clean jiaozi curtain as far as possible.
2. Take it out to dry every day and receive it at home at night. If there is a small courtyard or an open-air balcony, you can dry it at any time, except when it rains. In the process of drying, we also encountered some problems: dried white radish has the most water content, and dried radish sticks to water during drying. After consulting professionals, we resolutely picked out the sticky dried radish and threw it away. The sticky dried radish has gone bad and can't be eaten any more.
After four or five days, the dried radish finally dried. Just do it this way.
Part III Cleaning
This part is the key to ensure the cleanliness of dried radish. During the drying process, some dust and impurities will adhere to the surface of dried radish. If it is not cleaned, it will affect the taste and easily deteriorate.
Ingredients: three pots of boiling water, two clean pots and a clean filter basket.
1. Put the dried radish into a pot, add a pot of boiling water, stir with chopsticks, let the dust and impurities come out slowly, soak for 5 minutes, and then filter out the water with a water filter basket.
2. Add boiling water again, stir with chopsticks and soak for 5 minutes. The soaked water at this time is clearer than the first time. Repeat the same steps, and the water becomes clear for the third time. If you don't like the chewy dried radish, you can extend the soaking time for the third time, 10- 15 minutes. Then use the filter basket to control the outflow of water.
The fourth part is the preparation work before pickling.
Ingredients: peanuts, white sesame seeds, pepper noodles, spiced powder, salt and pepper (pepper) 1.
In this step, the chili oil and chili noodles for pickled dried radish are made, which is the key to making spicy food.
Fried sesame seeds
Put raw sesame seeds into a pot without water and oil, and stir fry over low heat. When you hear the crackling sound, the sesame seeds are ripe and put out for use.
Fried pepper
Add pepper or pepper to a pot without water and oil. If you like hemp, you can choose Chili. Stir fry slowly with low fire, and the color will change slightly. Put it in a cooking machine to make Chili noodles. The spicy taste of fried peppers is more fragrant and rich.
Roasted peanuts
Wash the peanuts and put them in the pot.
