Introduction: How is the "white pepper" that Hunan people love to eat made? After reading the steps you will also do
It is said that Sichuan and Hunan people love to eat chili peppers very much, and which province people can eat spicy has been controversial. However, if you look at the annual consumption of peppers, Hunan people are obviously more "spicy" than Sichuan people.
Because in Hunan, chili peppers have also invented a variety of ways to eat. The average person only knows how to use chili peppers to stir-fry vegetables, while some slightly stronger people will use chili peppers to make kimchi, such as chopped peppers, sour peppers, and sun-dried peppers.
Because the yield of peppers is good, in the summer it grows rapidly, and a large piece grows out of the harvest for a few days. But I can't finish eating all of a sudden, what should I do? The clever Hunan people also invented another way to eat it - white pepper.

In Hunan, not only is the head of the minced pepper fish a famous dish, but the chopped pepper is the soul of the head of the minced pepper fish. In fact, there is another specialty, that is, white pepper.
White pepper is not a new variety of pepper, it is also our ordinary pepper, but after a series of processing techniques, it has changed from green to white at the beginning.
Many outsiders come to Hunan, and in some Hunan restaurants, they will eat a dish that looks like a radish cut into cubes, and it is a white pepper. Whether it is used to stir-fry meat, stir-fry bacon, etc., or simply use it to fry peppers, it is very refreshing and rice.
In Hunan, many families use up dozens of pounds of fresh peppers every summer just to make white peppers. Some people in the city will also go to the market to buy fresh peppers, and then make them into white peppers to eat. On some holidays, or when guests come to the house, white pepper stir-fried meat is super popular.
Do you know how white peppers are made? In fact, the method is also simple, today I will share the production method of white pepper with you, after reading the steps you will also do.
Like my family, every time I do it is more than a dozen pounds, I have to do it several times a year, and it will not be bad to store it in the jar for half a year.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > how to make white peppers</h1>
The first step is to select materials.
If you plan to make white peppers, try to choose local green peppers when buying peppers, and do not buy peppers grown outside the supermarket, because the skin of these foreign peppers is very thick, not to mention, the key is that the meat is still very thin.
If you have the best peppers grown at home, if there is no planting can go to the market to buy, even if the price is a little more expensive, you have to buy local peppers, as now it is generally about 2 yuan a pound, very cheap, if it is a purchase of one or twenty pounds, the price will be more favorable.
After buying it back, remove its pepper stalks, and then wash them one by one, and select the peppers with worm eyes or rotten peppers.
The second step is to blanch the water.
Prepare a large pot, be sure to pay attention to the pot to clean, there can be no oil stains inside, you can use hot water to clean several times. Then fill the pot with a large pot of clean water and bring the water to a boil over high heat. When the water is boiling, pour the peppers in, remember to use a spatula to roll some, make sure that each pepper is boiled by the water,
Cook for about a minute or so, not too long, otherwise the pepper will become soft when it is cooked, which will affect the taste and even rot.
The third step is exposure to the sun.
Boil for a minute or so, then remove all the peppers in time, then put them on a dustpan or bamboo mat and take it to the sun to dry. The sun is relatively large on three volt days. In this way, in just one or two days, the previous green peppers will gradually turn white.
When you find that the peppers have turned white, you have to take them all home. Then use scissors to cut a long cut from the tail of the pepper upwards. Each pepper should be cut open, then put into the pot, sprinkled with the right amount of table salt, stirred well, and generally marinated for an hour or two.
After that, take it to the sun to dry for a while, and when it is 80% dry, you have to take it home and put it in the sauerkraut jar, seal it and keep it. Wait until a week later to eat. As for the amount of salt used, about 10 pounds of fresh peppers need to use a pound of salt. If the taste is lighter, it can be reduced as appropriate.
Many families now don't have sauerkraut jars, but this doesn't affect the production of white peppers, because every household has a refrigerator. When it is marinated, it can be wrapped in a plastic bag, sealed, and then placed in the lower layer of the refrigerator for refrigeration. When you want to eat, take it out and cut it into small pieces of stir-fried meat, or stir-fry other dishes, which is very convenient.
But it is also said that such a white pepper that is not placed in the sauerkraut jar has no soul, because it does not have the unique taste of the jar.

Seeing this, did you find the white pepper that Hunan people love to eat, in fact, the production method is very simple? The price of white peppers in the market is not cheap, but if you make them yourself, peppers are one or two dollars a pound, which is still very cost-effective.
However, it should be noted that when drying peppers, it must not be too dry, generally 80% dry is the best, some people like to be more smooth to 60% dry can also be. And if it is dried too dry, there is only a layer of skin left, which tastes similar to dried peppers.
Now is the time when peppers are on the market in large quantities, and if you can't finish eating peppers at home, don't make them all into chopped peppers or dried peppers. Of course, if you like to eat dried peppers, you can also dry them into white dried peppers.
Although this white pepper is a chili pepper, it is not spicy at all, but the taste is much better than the pepper, even more delicious than the fresh pepper, so not only adults like it, but many children also love to eat it.
Friends out of town can try it, it is really delicious.
