The production method of Manchu dish sauce

Pan sauce production steps:

One, small amount of sauce (do sauce lead) 1, choose beans: sauce beans need to be full of soybeans, which can not have broken half-beans, grindstone beans (immature soybeans). 2, wash beans: wash with water three times, to achieve no impurities in the soy sauce beans, wash the beans in the water to a clear degree. 3, small amount of soy beans: according to the number of soy beans to choose the size of the iron pot, generally small amount of 20 pounds of soybeans with 12 Indian pot. Put the soybeans into the brush clean pot, fill with water, cover the pot lid (preferably wooden pot lid) fire start cooking beans. The link of small amount of beans is very important, the pot should be brushed clean, too much oil in the pot to use alkaline water brush. Cook beans in small quantities of water should be more than twenty-five centimeters above the beans, rather more than less, so as not to paste the pot. The fire should be well mastered, first to boil over high heat, and then use a small fire to cook in small quantities. This time, pay attention not to let the soup overflow, (Manchu people called puff out) because the beans of the aroma and nutrients are in the soup, the soup should be cooked in small quantities of water, cooked in small quantities of water to the soybean. The fire can not be rushed, to turn several times, cook in small quantities of water to the beans can not rise, beans with a hand pinch almost pinch off the degree of turning the pot (the upper side of the beans turned to the lower side) and then cease fire. Then cover the pot with a lid, cover the lid with a sack, and then cover the sack with about ten centimeters of grain bag (or bean bag) to keep warm. The stove is filled with moist gerbao, and then the door of the stove pit is closed (blocked) with adobe and the seams are walked on with mud, so that there is no wind inside the stove, and the gerbao can be burned slowly. With a very small fire to heat the pot, when the ear close to the lid of the pot can be heard inside the pot gurgling means that the fire is appropriate. After half a day and a night (about fifteen hours), open the lid and turn the pot over to see how much soup is left in the pot; if there is little soup left, boil some water into the pot. If there is much soup left, increase the fire to burn for a while, and then cover the lid of the pot, covered with a sack Gege capsule, the stove is stuffed with Gege capsule, was on the door of the stove pit, and continue to smother for twenty hours. After opening the pot, found that the beans turned brownish red, which means that the beans in a small amount of water. The whole process of beans in small quantities of water takes about two days and two nights, so that the beans in small quantities of water, the color is very dark, the taste is mellow. (One day can also be cooked in small quantities of water, but the color and taste of light poor) 4, do the sauce block son: to be cooked in small quantities of soy sauce beans a little cooler (not hot), with a special pestle and mortar plunger sauce (soy sauce beans mortar and pestle into the mud). When the beans are ready, divide them into equal portions (even numbers), and then break them into four-pronged cubes about 25 centimeters high with large bottoms and small tops. Sauce block should not be too large fermentation impermeable, too small sauce block will become dry, not separated (sauce block internal can not become oily sticky). 5, storage and fermentation: after the sauce block is done, put two or three days, and then tied with dry Malian, two pieces of tethered together, hanging on the rocking car pole (under the shed diameter of about 7, 8 thick horizontal bars.) Or put the finished sauce block on top of the cabinet. (Under the bottom of broomcorn millet, block to block to have a space between. Sauce time in a small amount of water is generally in the lunar calendar at the end of winter and early Lunar New Year.

Second, under the sauce 1, drying sauce lead, through the drying so that the green hairs covering the sauce lead dry, the sun died part of the bacteria, the sauce fast surface drying. 2, brushing sauce lead, first put the sauce lead into a larger container soaked for more than three hours, and then use a clean brush to brush the sauce lead clean, drying. 3, into the tank, the sauce lead cut into about a centimeter thick sauce pieces, poured into the tank, and then according to the ratio of 2 pounds of soybeans and a catty of salt salt, and finally add the right amount of water, complete the whole process of the sauce. After the sauce management: 1, adhere to the daily raking, skimming (gently scooped off the green hair floating on the surface of the sauce soup, after the sauce need to be one, two weeks skimming). 2, adhere to the sunshine sauce, sunny days must be opened every day to avoid covering the lid of the sauce jar jar. 3, rain, cloudy days should be covered with a good sauce jar, to prevent the rain from entering the jar. 4, anti-fly, to keep the sauce jar cloth intact so as to avoid the fly into the jar to spawn, maggots. 5, don't use the oil spoon to scoop the sauce, and then add a little bit of water, to complete all processes. Don't use the spoon with oil to scoop the sauce, so that the sauce will not grow white hairs. The eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar is the traditional day of the Manchu people under the sauce.

Three, pick up the sauce pick up the sauce is the biggest difference between the Manchu plate sauce and the production method of the sauce, with the sauce under the longer and warmer temperatures, the sauce bubbles, which indicates that the sauce hair, to pick up the sauce time. Steps are very simple: 1, selected soybeans into the iron pan in a moderate fire fried, and with paste color. 2, the fried soybeans crushed with a pulverizer, powder fine, and then use boiling water to steep the bean face into a paste will be put into the tank. Can also be fried soybeans with boiling water soak through, and then ground into a paste into the sauce tank. 3, still with two pounds of soybean a catty salt ratio of salt. Pick up the sauce to master the timing, the sauce did not hair through pick up the sauce, the sauce does not love to hair. The management of the sauce is basically the same as the management of the sauce.
