Tips for making fried broad beans:
Some experience sharing on making fried broad beans at home:
1. It is said on the Internet that broad beans should be soaked before frying. In 1-2 days, it will more than double in size after soaking. Is it okay to fry them directly without soaking them? The purpose of soaking them is to make the broad beans bigger. The fried broad beans sold outside are so big that it’s scary.
In fact, I tried soaking it overnight. The beans did swell a lot the next day, but the water content did also increase a lot. What I want to say is that the soaking time does not matter. The key is to dry them, about a day, so that some of the water in the broad beans can evaporate. If they are too wet, they will not be crispy.
2. The dried broad beans are then frozen, and the beans will taste crispy when fried.
Is this so? After the beans are frozen, the internal structure will definitely undergo some changes, and then fried, from extremely cold to extremely hot, the instantaneous temperature change of "ice and fire", even if Your "iron man" will also become "finger-tender", not crispy, difficult!
3. Split the top of the soaked beans with a knife to half the depth of the broad beans. Firstly, it ensures that the broad beans will not become oily due to heat during frying, and secondly, it allows the moisture and heat in the bean paste to be easily dissipated.
4. When frying, add cold oil to the pan, slowly dip and fry, and use the oil temperature to slowly overflow the water in the broad beans. The purpose of this is to prevent the beans from being burnt on the outside and still soft on the inside. of.
5. Finally, "re-fry" the beans again and heat them quickly to make the outside of the broad beans crispier. An interesting phenomenon is that the broad beans, which were originally relatively fat, instantly became smaller and then returned to normal. It’s in its original state, why did you waste the soaking step! Secretly guessing, is it possible that the broad beans sold outside have added a growing agent?
The above is how to make homemade fried broad beans at home, everyone, take care Study it.
