Although the summer is hot, but it is this high temperature and sweltering climate that is more likely to promote people's desire to eat fried goods, occasionally eating is also good, recently made their own fried chicken steak, fried mushrooms, pretzel flavored fried peanuts rice is also often eaten, but also want to change appetite, so this fried eggplant box has been put on the food schedule.
The key to the delicious fried eggplant box is not the meat filling and eggplant, but the crispy shell, the shell is crisp and soft inside, the fried is not crispy, and it is too greasy, how to solve this problem?
First of all, tell you that it is wrong to only use water to adjust the batter, use a key seasoning "beer" to adjust the batter, and pay attention to the blending of the batter powder, the appearance is very crispy and not soft, while paying attention to the heat, the eggplant box is not very greasy.
The second is to pay attention to the steps of the operation, you should first adjust the meat filling, then adjust the batter, and finally cut the eggplant with meat filling, to prevent the eggplant from pinching the meat filling and then waiting for the salt to come out of the water, which is also easy to affect the hanging paste and crispness, and the eggplant will oxidize and blacken for a long time.
Ingredients required for the fried eggplant box: 2 eggplant, minced meat, soy sauce, pepper, egg, green onion and ginger, salt, chicken essence, corn starch, flour, beer, cooking oil
Step 1: First to adjust the meat filling, pork into meat filling, add onion and ginger, soy sauce, pepper, an egg, salt, chicken essence stir evenly, when adjusting the meat filling, try to whip in the same direction as much as possible, until the meat filling is sticky as well.
Step 2: Pick the batter of flour using corn starch and ordinary flour, the ratio of the two is 3 to 1 so the best, beat two eggs, and then pour in the beer to pick the batter, the batter can be adjusted to "yogurt-like", and finally add a small spoon of soybean oil to stir evenly. Soybean oil is added to make the final color more beautiful, and the grease can make the batter swell as it is fried.
Step 3: Start cutting the eggplant below, wash the eggplant and cut it into "sandwich blades", smear a little dry starch in the eggplant slices to increase the viscosity, prevent the meat filling from overflowing, and then take the appropriate amount of meat filling into the eggplant, and then sandwich the meat filling with each piece of eggplant in turn.
Step 4: Burn a little more cooking oil in the pan, the fryer must be slightly larger, and the oil should be slightly deeper, so as to prevent each other from sticking to each other when frying. When the oil temperature is raised to 40% heat and 120 degrees Celsius, the heat is reduced to medium, and the eggplant box is wrapped in batter and then fried in the frying pan.
Pay attention not to put too much down in turn at this time, otherwise it is too crowded and easy to stick, and the oil temperature is too low and easy to grease.
Step 5: When the eggplant box is fried until it is slightly yellow, it can be fished out when it is basically cooked through, and then fried in the next pot. After all the eggplant boxes are fried, turn on the high heat to raise the oil temperature to 60% heat, and then put the eggplant boxes into the oil pan for a second re-frying, the time should not be too long, and when all the golden crisps are crispy, they can be fished out.
This high-temperature re-frying can force out the grease inhaled during the last low-temperature frying, avoiding greasy and making the shell more crispy.
As for the reason why the eggplant box fried with beer becomes crispy, I think that the carbon dioxide contained in beer is released at an accelerated rate after preheating, prompting the batter to produce a large number of bubbles, which will become very crispy, I don't know if it is correct. Then it is necessary to "re-fry" it again, so that it is not greasy and more crispy.
