Ingredients: 5 kg of soybean, salt 1.5 kg, and appropriate amount of water.
1. Soybeans need to be soaked for 12 hours in advance, then put them in a large iron pot, add water and wipe them clean. There should be neither too much nor too little water. Pay attention to one-time molding, and it is best not to add it halfway. This depends on experience.
2, firewood to boil, cover the lid and simmer for about four hours, until the soybeans are ripe and red, with a little soup.
3. Spoon the cooked beans into a clay pot, mash them with a traditional wooden pestle while they are hot, and mash them into a mixture of semi-particles and bean paste. Then crush the broken beans and put them into a wooden mold for pressing and tamping, and so on, trim them into long strips, demould them and put them on a wooden board to dry.
4. About a week, the sauce blank is semi-dry, tied with straw and hung on the beam. After being placed in a cool and ventilated place for about 40 days, the water almost evaporated. Take out the sauce pieces, break them into fist-sized pieces and scrub them carefully.
5. Put the sauce pieces into the sauce jar, inject well water to wipe the sauce pieces, and sprinkle large grains of salt according to the size of the sauce pieces and water. Clean cotton cloth sealed the cylinder mouth tightly, and an iron cover was covered outside to prevent rain.
6. After three days, pound the jar every day, turn it up from the bottom, spread the sauce pieces, pound them evenly, and let the salt water and the sauce pieces be fully mixed. Open the sun-dried sauce during the day, evaporate some water, seal the jar and fasten it at night, and repeat this for many days until the sauce turns a sauce color, and the salt water and the sauce become more viscous. After drying for about 30 days, the sauce color turns yellow and the sauce flavor is rich. The farmer's sauce is basically ready, just hold the ingredients in a small bowl.
