Lead: Summer is coming. In this sultry weather, besides iced cola, sour wild may also be a good product to relieve summer heat and stimulate appetite. In addition to the familiar salt and pepper, you must not know that there is another condiment called "licorice salt".
Licorice salt is a handmade salt fried with licorice and salt, which is rich in Qinzhou, Guangxi. Add it to the fruit, it tastes sour and sweet, tastes sweeter, crisp and refreshing, and has the fragrance of licorice, which makes people memorable.
Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, the main component of licorice salt, generally likes to grow in dry sandy land and dry environment, such as Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Ningxia. In ancient times, licorice was also used to treat diseases. The effect of licorice is to strengthen the spleen and detoxify. Licorice is widely used, not only as medicine, but also as a salty and sweet condiment, namely licorice salt.
Speaking of which, you must be curious about how it is made.
In fact, the required materials are very few and common, only licorice, salt and sugar are needed, but the production method is very particular.
Firstly, a part of licorice is used to boil water, then sugar is added to obtain crystals of licorice water and sugar, and the next operation can be carried out after taking out the crystals.
When boiling licorice water, we must grind another part of licorice into powder and then add salt. Stir well, then stir fry. In the process of stir-frying, when the salt reaches a certain temperature, slowly add the crystals of licorice water and white sugar to make them fully integrated.
Then why should we add crystals? Because licorice powder and salt are two different crystals, in order to make them fully blend together, licorice water must be added for crystallization, otherwise the fried licorice salt will be very loose and the taste of sugar will not be blended. Moreover, it is easy to stick to the pot when frying licorice salt. Pay attention to the heat, and don't put oil when frying licorice salt!
After that, you can put Chili powder according to your personal situation. If we eat spicy food, we should put more Chili powder. If we can't eat spicy food, we should put less Chili powder. Some people don't even want to eat spicy food, so we can skip spicy food. If we don't put spicy food, licorice salt will be sweeter. Stir-fry for about an hour according to this operation. When the color turns golden yellow, the licorice salt is made successfully.
What's the difference between licorice salt and pepper salt? After reading the practice of salt and pepper introduced by Xiaobian, everyone can clearly see the difference.
First, chop the dried peppers, stir-fry them in a pot, and then take them out and put them into a pulverizer to make powder. Then boil water from the pot, add sugar to dissolve completely, then add salt and pepper, stir-fry over low heat until the particles are obvious.
Obviously, the method of pepper and salt is simple. Compared with pepper and salt, licorice salt is sweeter, pepper and salt are hotter, and licorice salt is lighter in color. Similarly, they are all secret weapons that can keep fruits fresh. Friends who like spicy food can add more pepper and salt, and friends who like sweet food can prefer licorice salt.
If you want to make sauerkraut at home, it's easy. You just need to slice or cut your favorite fruit, put it in a container, add licorice salt according to your own taste, then exert your arm strength and shake it until the taste of licorice salt is completely integrated into the fruit.
Although licorice salt can be fresh, the salt content in licorice salt is also quite high. Excessive consumption will cause dry mouth, which is contrary to what I said before, so we should also pay attention to moderate consumption in front of the screen. Moreover, licorice salt needs to be sealed in a dry and cool place, so as to avoid contact with air as little as possible, so as to avoid collision, melting or deterioration of moisture in the air with licorice salt.
