Let's talk about how to keep the hemp taste of pepper to the maximum extent.

1: fresh green pepper!

The best way for fresh green pepper to keep its hemp flavor is to soak fresh pepper oil! In hotels, we usually use fresh green peppers with fresh pepper oil! Fresh green pepper takes its shape, color and fresh hemp taste, and pepper oil improves hemp taste.

Next, let's talk about the use of dried Chili and how to keep its hemp taste as much as possible!

Dried peppers are divided into green peppers and red peppers. First of all, we must ensure the quality of peppers before cooking! Then we can talk about other things. (About the quality discrimination of pepper, there is a detailed explanation above)

In most cases, we use a mixture of green pepper and red pepper, that is, 1: 1. Take the hemp of green pepper and the sesame of red pepper for example.

If it's a spicy dish, the temperature of the pepper is generally around 120 degrees, and the stir-frying time is around 10- 15 seconds. At this temperature, the pepper will not turn black and bitter, but can stimulate the fragrance well, and in the subsequent stir-frying process, it can release the hemp flavor well and blend with the ingredients!

Boiled vegetables, peppers and prickly ash are usually put together in a pot, fried with other sauces, and then boiled in water! The hemp smell of boiled pepper! Then when frying oil, the fragrance of pepper is fried at high oil temperature.

It is worth mentioning that the temperature of pepper and pepper is about 140 degrees and the time is about 10 second. The temperature is about 200 degrees when frying oil.

Sauce marinade, such as hot pot bottom material, hot sauce and so on. Its general practice is to soak Zanthoxylum bungeanum and Zanthoxylum bungeanum in water, and then slowly boil the water with medium oil temperature, so that the hemp flavor can be slowly integrated into vegetable oil and mixed with other sauces and spices. This boiling process takes as little as 30 minutes and as much as 2-5 hours.

(The soaking time of pepper is different when different masters fry the bottom material), personally, the best time should be within 30 minutes, so as to ensure that the hemp taste of pepper will not be lost with the soaking water as much as possible!
