Where is a snack?

Oil wharf is a street snack in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, also known as oil wharf or oil wharf. There are two kinds of oil chopping boards, vegetarian stuffing, also called radish cake, and sweet stuffing with bean paste. Meat stuffing is used to make meat stuffing. Pour the diluted batter into an oval iron spoon, add meatballs, fresh meat or bean paste made of chopped green onion and shredded white radish, then cover the batter and fry it in an oil pan. Because it is fried food, it looks yellow and brown and tastes crispy and delicious.

manufacturing method

Pour the flour into the flour jar, add salt and appropriate amount of cold water, mix well, then add appropriate amount of cold water several times, and stir in one direction until it is thin and thick. After standing for an hour or two, add baking powder and stir into batter (if baking powder is not needed, 35-40 grams of old paste can be used instead).

Cleaning radish, shredding, squeezing out water, and mixing with flour paste; Wash the shrimp and cut off the whiskers.

Put peanut oil in a pot and heat it to 70% to 80%. Put the oil chopping board horizontally in an oil pan and preheat it. Take out the oil, scoop some batter with a long-handled spoon to fill the bottom of the mold, put shredded radish, put the batter in the center of the shredded radish, lift it slightly with a spoon, and then add the river shrimp. Then put the mold into a large oil pan, and the fire should not be too big to avoid external coke. After the oil pier floats out of the mold, it turns golden yellow, and then it is taken out and drained.

The tool spoon of the oil pier must be preheated in the oil pan, leaving a little oil before putting the batter, which is easier to demould.
