A collection of warm winter food In the hectic city life, sometimes the simplest food can bring the greatest satisfaction. Today, let's walk into this delicious home-cooked dish - dried fried beans.
Stir-fried beans are a classic Sichuan dish with good color and aroma, which is loved by people for its golden and attractive appearance and crispy and delicious taste. First, we need to prepare fresh beans, wash them and cut them into small pieces, and then drain them. This step is crucial because only thoroughly drained beans will ensure that no oil will splash during frying and will also make the beans more crispy.
Next, we start frying the beans. When the oil temperature is 60% hot, put the beans in the pot, fry them until they float up, and then remove them. The purpose of this step is to allow the beans to form a crispy crust on the surface and to better absorb the flavor of the spice during the subsequent frying. The oil temperature of fried beans should be properly controlled, too high will make the beans burn, too low will make the beans greasy.
Then, we start stir-frying. Leave the bottom oil in the pot, add the chopped chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and minced garlic, and slowly stir-fry over medium-low heat until fragrant. When these seasonings give off a rich aroma, we can put the fried beans in the pot and add the right amount of salt, chicken essence, monosodium glutamate, sugar, and a small spoonful of light soy sauce to taste. These seasonings can be increased or decreased according to personal tastes to achieve the most suitable taste for you.
Finally, in order to make the flavor of the dried beans more intense, we add some white sesame seeds and stir-fry evenly. These white sesame seeds release a rich aroma at high temperatures, which perfectly combines with the umami of the beans and makes people appetize.
And just like that, a delicious home-cooked version of dried fried beans is ready. Whether it's served with a bowl of white rice or as a side dish, it will make you feel the full taste and well-being of home. In this fast-paced world, let's slow down and enjoy a home-cooked meal!
