1. The correct way to hang frosted peanuts
1. Peanuts should be red-skinned peanuts with full particles, because red can best set off the white of the sugar coating, then rinse with clear water and drain the water for later use. Be careful not to soak in water, just rinse the dust; Friends who have the conditions at home can bake peanuts in the oven, 150 degrees 15 minutes or so, or they can choose to stir-fry in hot pot or fry thoroughly.
This step is very important, that is, the mature peanuts should be cooled before the next production. This is the key step to fry the frosted peanuts, especially the fried peanuts must wait until they are cooled, which is easy for many people to make mistakes or even ignore.
3. The following is the key to frosted peanuts. We add 250 grams of white sugar and 80 grams of water to the pot and cook the white sugar until it melts. At this time, we will continue to boil with medium and small fire, and after the big bubbles become small bubbles, we will continue to stir at this time. When the fluidity of the sugar solution becomes worse, that is, it is slightly sticky, we will immediately put it in the fried peanuts.
4. Turn off the fire immediately after the peanuts are poured in, and then stir fry constantly, so that each peanut is evenly coated with syrup. At this time, add 25 grams of corn starch to the pot and stir-fry it evenly for three times. At this time, remember to keep turning to crystallize the syrup, and return to the sand when it cools; In this step, it is best for two people to cooperate, one person keeps stirring and the other person sprinkles corn starch.
5. Finally, the syrup is crystallized, and corn starch is closely attached to the surface of peanuts to form sugar coating, thus making frosted peanuts.
The following is a list of ingredients and seasonings needed for your reference:
300g of peanuts, 250g of sugar, 80g of clear water and 25g of corn starch.
2. Elaboration of "sand returning" technology
Returning sand can also be called turning sand. As the name implies, it is the process that white sugar melts by heating and then becomes cold crystallization. Generally used to make all kinds of sweets, such as frosted peanuts, frosted hawthorn, frosted taro, frosted chestnuts, frosted walnuts and dried fruits. Can be made of white sugar and rock sugar. Many people have not mastered this step. The following is a detailed explanation for everyone.
After the water is boiled, it is best not to aggregate the sugar solution.
Turning sand should be done with water and sugar or rock sugar. The amount of water is less than sugar. In fact, it is to heat the sugar and melt it in water, and then continue to cook it to completely evaporate the water. After sugar and water are heated and melted, large bubbles will appear if they continue to stir. Actually, the water is boiling. If you continue to stir, you will find that the bubbles become smaller, indicating that the water content will decrease. If you continue to stir, you will find that the sugar solution is not as good as before, and the edge of the pot will not gather in the middle, indicating that the water is there at this time.
