Bishop gourmet Boli advised Haibo to make an air ball. Do you know what is the skill of air ball?

Air ball is a Taoist dish, which originated in Anyang, Henan Province in the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, its original name was Osmanthus Jelly. Later, it was discovered by Emperor Qianlong and introduced into the royal kitchen. Because it doesn't touch chopsticks, teeth and plates, Emperor Qianlong mentioned the imperial pen and named it "air ball".

So what does an air balloon do?

First, prepare the materials. Break six eggs to make them yellow, and remove egg white, starch, sugar, water and cooked lard (white oil).

Secondly, preliminary treatment, egg yolk, appropriate amount of water starch and sugar are mixed evenly. Six eggs are about a catty, and the ratio of white sugar, dry starch and cooked lard is 2.5: 1.5: 1, which means that a catty of eggs needs 125g of white sugar, 75g of dry starch and 50g of cooked lard. The water in water-soluble dry starch is not easy to be too little, and too little fried hollow balls are not tender; Not easy to over-fry, over-fry for a long time, not easy to shape. Water is about a catty of eggs, two bowls of water and one bowl. Stir the sugar, starch and egg yolk evenly for later use.

Finally, boil the pot, pour in the oil and make the spoon as smooth as possible. Now there is a non-stick pan at home, which is relatively easy to make, but there are also problems. Most non-stick pans are flat-bottomed, and the air balls made are too thin, and the shape is not as good as that fried with a pointed spoon. ). Pour the oil out of the heated spoon, pour 20g of white oil into it with low fire, add the stirred egg yolk liquid, not once, but several times bit by bit, add the remaining 30g of white oil with the egg liquid bit by bit, and stir it in one direction with a hand spoon all the time to shape it. After molding, stir-fry the other side with a large spoon to make its oil yellow, and pour in a little sesame oil to make it golden in color.

In a word, air balloons are a very delicious food. If you haven't eaten, you must learn and taste. You will never be disappointed!
