However, this seemingly simple side dish is not as crispy and delicious as expected. Either peanuts are too soft and chewy, or celery is too old and expensive. If you want to make this dish well, you should pay attention to the choice of raw materials from the beginning, and the order of seasonings should not be reversed.
1. First, we prepare a proper amount of peanuts and soak them in clear water for more than 2 hours, so that peanuts can absorb enough water and taste more crisp.
2. After soaking, let's cook peanuts: boil water in the pot, wash peanuts, pour in, add onion, ginger slices, grab 2 pieces of star anise, a little dried pepper and a little pepper, add 4 grams of salt, boil over high fire, skim off the floating foam, and turn to medium heat for 5 minutes to cook the fragrance of peanuts. This is the key to tasting peanuts.
After 3.5 minutes, put the peanuts and soup together in the pot, add 4 grams of alkaline noodles and soak for a while. Alkaline noodles can increase the crispness of peanuts and make them look more ruddy. After soaking, pour out the control water.
4. Prepare some celery and cut it into celery segments with an oblique knife. Celery has no old tendons, so it tastes more crisp and tender. A carrot, cut into small pieces.
5. Boil the water in the pot again, add carrot and celery, blanch for about one minute, pour out and shower with cold water. This step can prevent carrots and celery from softening at the remaining temperature, which is convenient to maintain the crisp taste.
6. Then put celery, carrots and peanuts together, pour in proper amount of sesame oil and mix well, add salt, chicken essence, sugar and rice vinegar and mix well to serve. Remember to put the oil and mix well before seasoning, so that the oil can wrap the seasoning and cover the peanuts evenly, and the food will be more delicious.
Tips:
1. Peanuts should be soaked for more than 2 hours to make them absorb enough water and taste more crisp;
2. Alkaline noodles can make the red color of peanuts more ruddy and the finished products more vivid.
3. When seasoning, you should put oil first, which is convenient to wrap the seasoning and make the dish more tasty.
