Northeast specialty food The production method and process of popcorn
Popcorn is a specialty delicacy originating from Northeast China that is loved for its crispy texture and unique aroma. Below, we will introduce the production method and process of popcorn in detail, so that you can easily make authentic Northeast popcorn at home.
1. Required materials.
Dried corn kernels: 500 grams.
Cooking oil: to taste.
Sugar: To taste.
Second, the production process.
1.Prepare the ingredients: First, prepare the dried corn kernels, cooking oil, and sugar you need. The corn varieties in the Northeast region are unique, and the popcorn made is more crispy.
2.Preheat the pot: Add an appropriate amount of cooking oil to the pot and preheat it over medium heat. The preheated oil temperature allows the corn kernels to burst quickly.
3.Frying corn kernels: When the oil temperature is moderate, pour the dried corn kernels into the pan and gently stir with a spatula to evenly heat the corn kernels. At this time, the corn kernels in the pot will start to burst gradually, making a "crackling" sound.
4.Stir at the right time: During the frying process, keep stirring the corn kernels with a spatula to avoid uneven heating or burnt corn kernels. At the same time, cover the pot at the right time to prevent hot oil from spilling.
5.Control the heat: During the frying process, pay attention to controlling the heat. If the heat is too high, the popcorn will be easy to burn;If the heat is too low, the popcorn may not rise sufficiently.
6.Stir well: Using the residual temperature, gently stir with a spatula to mix the sugar and popcorn thoroughly. At this point, the popcorn will take on an attractive golden yellow color.
7.Remove from the pan and serve: Pour out the prepared popcorn and place it on a plate. Once it has cooled down a bit, you can enjoy a delicious Tohoku specialty popcorn.
3. Precautions.
1.Use fresh dried corn kernels to ensure that the popcorn is crispy.
2.During the frying process, keep the heat medium and avoid too much or too little heat.
3.Covering the pan during frying prevents hot oil from splashing out and makes the popcorn cleaner and more hygienic.
4.After adding the sugar, stir well quickly to avoid the sugar clumping and affecting the taste.
5.The popcorn that has just come out of the pan is on a high temperature, so let it cool slightly before serving it on a plate to avoid burns.
6.You can make more than one at a time, save it and enjoy it slowly. However, it is necessary to pay attention to moisture prevention, so as not to affect the taste.
