Although fried food is harmful to health, it still plays an important role in food industry. Which street snack is not fried? Fried skewers, tenderloin cakes, chicken bones, Jining cakes, many dishes in the hotel need to be fried: dry fried beans, braised eggplant, fried meatballs, fried hairtail, salted chicken, and so on. Because "frying" itself is one of the cooking skills, especially some foods basically need to be fried again to highlight the burnt flavor. Cooking at home will also be fried. The Spring Festival is coming soon. Every family will fry fried dough sticks, meatballs, lotus root boxes, hairtail, tofu and so on. But what should I do with the oil after frying these things? We all know that oil will produce some harmful substances after repeated heating. It's a pity to dump it. How to deal with it? Let's do this:

Ingredients: onion, ginger, dried tangerine peel, pepper, oil left after frying.

Step 1: Pour the remaining oil after frying into a container. After a day of precipitation, you can see that there is a dark substance precipitation at the container. Pour the oil on the top into the pot and dump the residue at the bottom. Put oil and fire in the pot.

Step 2: Take advantage of the hot oil time, wash the onion and cut into sections, slice the ginger, and put a handful of pepper and three pieces of dried tangerine peel for later use.

Step 3: After the oil temperature reaches 170 degrees, add the dried tangerine peel, pepper and fragrant leaves prepared in step 2 and start frying. Add onion and ginger slices. Add ginger slices to remove the fishy smell in the oil to prevent it from affecting the taste when used again. Stir-fry shallots, add pepper and dried tangerine peel, and taste in oil.

Step 4: Stir-fry onions, peppers and dried tangerine peel, then remove them with a colander and throw them away. Don't wait until the shallots are fried dry. Everything will be reversed. If the onion is fried black, it will burn and affect the taste of the oil. Then put this oil in a container and eat it with cold dishes at ordinary times. It is a secret "sesame oil".

Doing this step is basically enough. Some friends who can't eat without Chili powder can add another step after the fourth step, buy Chili powder and pour it into the oil pan for frying. Stir-fry until fragrant, turn off the heat and take the upper layer of red oil. This is homemade Chili oil. The thick Chili sauce below can generally be scooped in a bowl. Red oil is used to add flavor and color to cold dishes.
