Sihaiwang: when it comes to Huajia, everyone is familiar with it. Flower beetle is one of the most popular delicacies. It is rich in nutrients, tastes delicious, has a good edible value, and is loved by people. Fried flower nail is the most classic and common method of flower nail, so do you need to use hot water to scald it? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian~
Do you need hot water to iron the flower armor
It is recommended to blanch (blanch) with hot water before cooking.
The flower armor contains sand. Scalding it with hot water can promote the opening of the flower armor and clean the sand inside the flower armor. If you go to clean sand before cooking, you don't need to scald it with hot water, so it depends on the cleanness of the flower.
Of course, in addition to the benefits of scalding to go to the sand, it needs cold water after blanching. The meat quality of the flower armour in the cold water will be more elastic, making the taste of the flower armour better. Therefore, it is generally recommended to blanch.
The benefits of carapace blanching
1. Easy to clean
After the flower armor is heated, the protein denaturation makes the flower armor have no ability to close tightly. The flower carapace opens, which can easily remove the sediment in the flower armor and make the flower armor cleaner. It can also clean up the dead flower armor without opening.
2. Concha stylization
The flower armor without blanching is easy to be unevenly heated in the process of frying, resulting in the separation of shell and meat or the dishonesty of the meat quality. After blanching, it can promote the flower armor to be shaped and have a complete shape.
3. Increase elasticity
The meat needs cold water after blanching. The meat will be more elastic and taste better when it comes to cold water.
4. Help sterilize
The living environment of the flower beetle determines that there will be some bacteria in the flower beetle. After blanching, the bacteria in the flower beetle can be reduced and the shelf life can be prolonged.
How to blanch the carapace
1. After boiling, pour in the cleaned flower armor and stir it slightly to make it evenly heated.
2. Continue to cook until the shell is open and remove immediately.
3、 Pour the nail into ice water and cool it quickly to increase its elasticity.
How long does it take
About three minutes after the water boils again.
It's not necessarily 3 minutes to blanch the flower armor for 3 minutes. The exact time point should be to stop fire after the flower armor starts to open its shell and pull it out, so as to keep the fresh taste of the flower armor and avoid too much loss of fresh taste.
Notes on blanching
1. The fresh taste of the flower beetle is very good, but it will lose a lot of fresh taste if it is cooked for a long time. Therefore, the time of scalding the flower beetle with hot water should not be too long, and it should be controlled in a proper time to avoid the loss of a lot of fresh taste.
2. If you feel that the fresh taste is lost too much after blanching, you can clean the flower armor, then remove the froth of the boiled flower armor, precipitate it, and cook the flower armor with clear liquid instead of clear water.
3. The meat needs cold water after blanching. The meat will be more elastic and taste better when it comes to cold water.
