The modulation of raw lye water is 0.5 kg of soda ash into 10 kg of warm water dissolved into a 5% solution of soda ash. The raw materials soaked with raw alkali water have a slippery feeling, the raw materials have a soft, tender, good taste, suitable for burning, braising, mixing, stir-frying and soup dishes and so on. Cooked lye modulation is 0.5 kg of soda ash, 0.15 kg of quicklime into a ceramic vessel, into the boiling water 5 kg stirred evenly, and then add 2.5 kg of cold water stirred, after standing clarified, take the clarified lye to use. Cooked alkali water soaked raw materials are not sticky and slippery, rise good raw materials with toughness and tenderness, suitable for stir-frying, popping, stir-fry and so on. Rising dry squid with raw lye: first soak the dry squid in cold water for about 3 hours (so that the squid is softened), and then cut it into even-sized slices, and then put it into the raw lye water for 5-6 hours, and then fill it with boiling water, cover it with a lid and simmer it, and then when it cools down, pour it into an iron pot together with lye and then heat it up slowly with a small fire, and then raise the quality at a constant temperature of 80℃-90℃ (while adding water to the pot and scooping out the lye, so that the lye will not be used as a substitute for lye). (while adding water to the pot, while the pot will be scooped out, so that the concentration of lye to reduce), raised to the squid slices gradually uniform yellow and bright and transparent, squid will rise hair enough. Finally, will be hair enough squid slices fished out, put into the water basin and constantly change the water immersion bleaching, to remove the alkali flavor, to the squid slices become thick and elastic, can be put into a trace of alkalinity in the solution of soaking and storage standby. Cooked alkaline water to rise dry squid: will be soaked back to soft and cut squid slices into the cooked alkaline water, soak until the expansion of the hair through the fish out, into the water soak and constantly change the water to retreat alkali, and finally in the micro-alkalinity of the solution of soaking storage standby.
The following points should be noted when using alkaline water to rise dry squid:
1. The concentration of alkali solution should be based on the old and young dry squid and the climate of the hot and cold to make appropriate adjustments. Such as the body of large hard dry squid, the concentration should be slightly larger, the body of small soft, the concentration should be small; summer hair, the concentration should be small, winter hair, the concentration is slightly larger. 2. hair the length of time and the concentration of alkali solution has a close relationship. Concentration can be shortened when the rise of time, the concentration of small can be appropriate to extend the time.
3. dry squid by soaking absorbent soft, and then put into the alkaline water rise, can reduce the corrosive effect of alkaline water on the squid. And squid changed into a uniform size of the slice, can make the squid rise to the same degree.
4. rise hair, the first hair through the first should be fished out, not hair through and then continue to hair, to avoid excessive hair rise, some hair rise is not enough.
5. With raw lye up hair quality, must be in 80 ℃ ~ 90 ℃ constant temperature solution. If the lye boiling (100 ℃), easy to make squid meat "melt" off. In practice, the pot can be removed from the fire or add cold water to maintain a constant temperature. When using cooked alkaline water to rise, it does not need to be heated.
2. simple soaking dried squid
(1) oil hair: every 500 grams of dried squid with 10 grams of sesame oil, a little alkali, at the same time, put into the water, soak until the swelling soft.
(2) alkali hair: according to the ratio of 1:2, the soda ash and cold water mixed, stirring will be 5% of the soda ash solution, and then depending on the tenderness of the squid, plus two to three percent.
Dry squid soaked in cold water
3 hours after the fish out, into the soda ash and then soak for three hours, can be swollen enough to send a good, take out into the cold water repeatedly rinsed to get rid of the alkali flavor can be cooked
