Pumpkin is not only nutritious, but also affordable, with laxative, stomach-nourishing, and anti-appetite effects. Eating this dish in winter is simply irresistible, suitable for all ages. Let's learn how to make fried pumpkin!
We need to go to the supermarket and buy a pumpkin. In winter, it is the season when pumpkins are available in large quantities, and they are also very affordable. Each pumpkin only costs 5 cents, and 3 yuan can buy a large pumpkin. At this time, my grandmother would buy seven or eight pumpkins at a time to go home. Once you buy your pumpkin home, keep it in a ventilated and dry place and don't pack it in a box, as the pumpkin touches the ground to keep it fresh. Pumpkin and sweet potato samples, the longer you leave it, the sweeter it becomes. This change is especially pronounced in winter, when the temperature difference between day and night is large.
Next, we're going to choose a pumpkin and remove the skin. The skin of pumpkin is firmer, making it more convenient to cut with a knife. Peel the pumpkin, wash and drain it for later use.
Then, take a large bowl and pour in an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour in the optimal ratio of "21". In other words, there should be more glutinous rice flour, so that the fried pumpkin will have a crispier texture. Then add an egg, a pinch of salt and an appropriate amount of water, stir well to form a fried paste. Finally, pour in a little cooking oil and let it blend well into the fried paste. The purpose of adding cooking oil is to prevent the pumpkin from sticking when it is put into the pan and fried. With the help of cooking oil, the pumpkin will easily fall apart.
Once the salt and salt taste is well adjusted, place the drained pumpkin in the batter and make sure it is well coated. It should be noted here that if you want to eat a thicker fried paste, then you have to thicken it;If you prefer to eat the original flavor of pumpkin, then the fried paste can be thinned. Put the pumpkin in the batter so that you can hang it on both sides, so you don't have to mess around when you put it in the pan.
The final step is to fry the pumpkins in a pan of oil. The frying temperature should be higher, and you can start with high heat, and after a few minutes turn to medium heat. To make the pumpkin taste more delicious, turn it over with chopsticks when frying so that it heats evenly.
When the pumpkin in the pan is fried until golden brown, it is ready to be removed. To reduce the attachment of table salt to the pumpkin, we can use a drain to fill the fried pumpkin. Allow the grease to drip well from the pumpkin. The pumpkin is ready to eat after it has cooled slightly. At this time, the pumpkin that has just come out of the pot is steaming, and the sweet and soft flavor is endless.
