-"Fried hemp leaves" is a traditional snack in Chongqing, Hubei, Anhui, Henan and other places, or a snack! Snacks are mainly made of flour, water, sesame seeds or eggs. They are crisp and fragrant.

Because it looks like hemp leaves after frying, it is called "fried hemp leaves". Of course, this is just a scientific name, and the names of this snack are different in local dialects, such as tea, burnt leaves and so on.

The following analysis of specific practices, key points and skills to explain.

Innovative method of frying hemp leaves Ingredients: 300 grams of flour.

Ingredients: 2 eggs, white sesame 10g, black sesame 10g.

Seasoning: 10g lard, 4g salt.

-Operating procedures-

1. Pour the flour into a large bowl, add the edible salt first and stir well. Then add lard, beat eggs, and add raw white sesame seeds and black sesame seeds soaked in hot water-(why do sesame seeds soak in hot water and why do you add lard? Explain later).

2, then use chopsticks to stir in one direction, stir the flour into a flocculent, and then knead it into dough. Note that the dough is hard, which is very important, and no water is added.

3. After the dough is kneaded, seal it with plastic wrap or cover it with a big pot. After kneading for half an hour, the dough will be softer and the subsequent steps will be easy to operate.

4. Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on the chopping board, put the baked dough on the table, flatten it with the palm of your hand, and then roll it evenly with a rolling pin. It is difficult in the process, so it must be pressed with some force or with a noodle machine. In short, the thinner the better, the crisper the fried product.

5. Spread a thin layer of flour after rolling it thin, cut it into strips about 5 cm wide, then stack each strip and cut it into diamond blocks about 4 cm, or cut it into your favorite shape, which has little effect, but be careful not to cut it too big, otherwise it will not be easy to fry.

After cutting, shake the "hemp leaf" embryo to prevent adhesion.

6. Boil the pot, add wide oil and try a little more. Then raise the oil temperature to 50% heat, turn to low heat, and then add hemp leaves in turn to green embryo. Pay attention to turning it frequently when frying, so that both sides of hemp leaves can be heated evenly, and there will be no phenomenon that one side is burnt and the other side is half cooked.

7. When the hemp leaves are fried to float and slightly yellow, you can remove the dry oil for later use. Then raise the oil temperature to 60% heat again, add hemp leaves and fry again. The process takes about 20~30 seconds, and the color turns pale yellow. Turn off the fire and take it out at once.

Remember not to wait until the hemp leaves turn golden, otherwise they will get old and ugly. The key is that the taste is burnt and not delicious. Because there is still a high residual temperature when the hemp leaves are fished out, they continue to evaporate water and become mature, which is similar to the principle of frying peanuts. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity to fish out the drained oil when it turns pale yellow and spread it on the plate.

A piece of fried hemp leaves with golden color, crisp taste and salty fragrance is completed.
