Therefore, adding peanut butter to reconcile and neutralize the bitterness of sesame seeds can also increase the sweetness. In the early years, there were Sanqi sauce and Wuwu sauce, both of which talked about the ratio of sesame sauce to peanut butter, but old Beijingers still liked Baer sauce best and used it to rinse mutton, which was delicious.
Some people say that sesame sauce is the soul of Beijingers, and this Baer sauce can be said to be the essence of this soul. 20% peanuts and 80% sesame, commonly known as Baer sauce. And notoginseng sauce, which means the same thing. Sesame paste is a fragrant food ground from fried sesame seeds and used as seasoning. According to the color of sesame, it can be divided into white sesame paste and black sesame paste. Sesame paste is one of the most popular condiments.
The origin of Baer sauce
It was the early days of liberation, and materials were extremely scarce. Many common non-staple foods, such as oil, sugar, sauce and vinegar, were initially supplied in limited quantities. Sesame paste is one of them. Everyone can only buy 1 2 a month, and they must take the shopping book to the cooperative to mark it to prevent the second purchase. Some people can talk politely, get close to salespeople and often play a little more. This Baer sauce originated from that era, and it can even be said that it is the crystallization of the wisdom of old Beijingers.
At first, the ratio of sesame paste to peanut butter was 50-50, 46-50 and 37-50. After a long time, I found that only 28-50 tastes the best, that is, two sesame paste and eight peanut butter. A large amount of peanut butter mixed in it can not only neutralize the bitterness of sesame paste, but also improve the overall taste. So far, it is also a must-have for Beijing instant-boiled mutton. If you cook it in hot pot soup, you can often eat more plates of mutton.
