It is almost the fifteenth day of the first month, and the fifteenth day of the first month is also called the Lantern Festival or Shangyuan Festival, which is a traditional Chinese festival. On the day of the Lantern Festival, there are many traditional customs, such as viewing flower lanterns, eating lanterns, and dancing lions. Eating the Lantern on the fifteenth day of the first month is a custom that has been handed down from ancient times to the present. The Lantern is also called Tangyuan, which is generally called the Lantern by northerners and tangyuan by southerners. The Lantern in the north is rolled out, and the tangyuan in the south is wrapped out.
Northerners eat Lantern, generally black sesame seeds, peanuts, preserved fruits and other sweet, southern tangyuan taste is more abundant, both sesame peanuts and other sweet tangyuan, but also meat stuffed salty tangyuan, each has its own characteristics. The food that must be eaten in the Lantern Festival is the Lantern Festival, northerners eat the Lantern, generally there are two ways to cook and eat and fried, boiling tangyuan is relatively simple, the water is boiled, down into the Lantern, and then add two times of cold water like boiling dumplings, boil until the Lantern is transparent and floating, it is basically cooked. Fried Lantern needs some skills, last year there were some friends fried Lantern, not all glued together, or when fried Lantern burst, was jumped out of the hot oil burned. Therefore, if the Lantern wants to be fried well, it is necessary to pay attention to the "2 steps", master this key "2 steps", and the Lantern that is blown up is complete and does not crack, and it will not stick together.
【Operation step】Step 1: Prepare the Lantern or Tangyuan, I use the Lantern rolled by myself, or I can use the quick-frozen Tangyuan to make it.
Step 2: Without thawing, put the Lantern into the pot and cook until the Lantern floats up, that is, the state of cooking. Note that this step is the key to the explosion of the Lantern without cracking, because the internal temperature of the quick-frozen Lantern is low, and the glutinous rice flour of the outer skin of the Lantern is generally raw, and the raw glutinous rice flour skin is not sticky, so when it is fried, due to the high oil temperature and low inverted temperature, it is easy to open, plus the glutinous rice flour skin is raw without stickiness, it is easy to burst. Therefore, fried Lantern or Tangyuan needs to be cooked in advance.
Step 3: Let the cooked Lantern slightly cool so that the surface is not hot, then put the breadcrumbs in a bowl, put the cooked Lanterns in the breadcrumbs and wrap a circle of breadcrumbs, and press hard to make the breadcrumbs stick a little harder.
Step 4: Dip all the Lanterns with breadcrumbs and set aside.
Step 5: Pour oil into the pot and heat it to 60%, then go down to the Lantern Festival. Note that the frying Lantern can not use too hot oil, the oil temperature is not too high, the whole process of small fire, the oil temperature is high, the surface is easy to fry paste, and it is easy to burst. In the process of frying the Lantern, it is necessary to gently press the Lantern with a spoon and keep rolling, so that the Lantern is heated evenly, and the uneven heat is also easy to burst.
Step 6: Fry until the surface of the Lantern becomes darker and you can fish it out, be sure to control the oil temperature, otherwise it is easy to fry the paste.
【Tips】1, before frying the Lantern, you must cook it in advance, and you can't take it out and fry it directly.
2, the purpose of sticking bread chaff on the surface of the Lantern is to prevent the Lantern from sticking together, the glutinous rice dough skin will be very sticky when fried, it is easy to stick together, so it is necessary to wrap a layer of chaff.
3, the temperature of the fried Lantern oil can not be too high, must be low fire slow frying, high oil temperature is easy to fry paste, but also easy to be unevenly heated to make the Lantern burst.
4, when frying the Lantern, use the back of the spoon to press the Lantern and roll it continuously, so that the Lantern can be heated evenly.
5, fried Lantern is very hot inside, be careful of burns when eating.
