Generally speaking, frying is a cooking method in which small raw materials are put into a hot pot with a small amount of oil, stirred, seasoned and thickened quickly with strong fire to make the raw materials mature quickly. Take stock of the world's top ingredients and explore a rare feast. Its raw materials are generally chips, silk, diced, strips and blocks. When frying, use fire and hot oil for a short time. Its main characteristics are quick speed, tight oil, smooth and full, fresh and soft.

Explosion means urgency, speed and intensity. The heating time is extremely short, and the cooked dishes are crisp and tender. The so-called stir-frying is a method that the processed raw materials are boiled in boiling soup or fried in hot oil (or fried in the bottom with high oil temperature) in a very short time, then fried together with the ingredients, quickly rushed into the mixed sauce and stirred quickly, and served immediately. One of the most prominent points is that the sauce should wrap the main ingredients and be shiny. The explosion method is mainly used to cook crisp and tough raw materials, such as tripe, chicken gizzard, duck gizzard, chicken and duck, lean pork, beef and mutton, etc. Generally, raw materials are processed by knives first. When sizing the main ingredients, don't make them too dry to avoid caking when heating. When blasting, scalding, blasting and blasting should be closely linked, and they should not be out of touch. Explosion can generally be divided into oil explosion, coriander explosion, sauce explosion, onion explosion, soup explosion, water explosion and so on.

Sauté ed (with thick sauce)
It originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the "fish frying" method and "boiled" method were the blanks of the Tang method. After the Song Dynasty, dishes such as "vinegar fish" appeared, that is, after the fish (or other raw materials) were heated to maturity, they were poured with pre-made sauces (this ancient method is still used in Hangzhou today). After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the word "stir-fried fish" officially appeared in food books. For example, Tong Yue in the Qing Dynasty recommended the book "Diaoding Collection", which contains a dish of "vinegar fish". At that time, most of the "baked" condiments were vinegar, sauce, salt, sugar, fragrant grain, wine and so on. Tastes are sour, salty, sweet, sour and fragrant. Fried sea cucumber in vinegar, fried ribs in sweet and sour and fried fish slices in modern dishes are the continuation and development of these ancient methods.

Stir-fry is similar to stir-fry and stir-fry, but the difference is that stir-fry uses more sauce than stir-fry. Stir-fry is to marinate the processed and cut raw materials with seasonings, heat them with oil, water or steam, and then pour the prepared marinade on the cooking raw materials, or put the cooking raw materials into the marinade and stir them. Stir-fried dishes are widely used, generally using fresh, fresh and tasteless raw materials, such as fresh chicken, fish, shrimp, tenderloin, preserved eggs and stems of various green vegetables. These raw materials are generally cut into silk, diced, chips, thin strips, small pieces and other shapes; On the whole, use more fish. In operation, strict selection of materials, exquisite knife work, unique cooking and moderate sauce are required to maintain the texture characteristics of dishes with different tastes, such as crispness, crispness, smoothness, tenderness, bright juice and delicious taste. It can also be divided into burnt, slippery, soft, vinegar and rotten. Common dishes are "sliced meat" and "vinegar cabbage".

It is a big fire, rich in oil and without juice. When cooking, the heat is usually fierce. The surface of raw materials is dehydrated quickly in a high-temperature oil pan, which will produce a crisp taste, but it is not conducive to maintaining nutrition, not easy to digest, and should not be eaten more. According to the different raw materials, some need not hang paste, just marinate with seasoning, and then fry with strong fire, such as clear frying, wrapped paper frying and oil frying; Some need to paste before frying, such as dry frying, soft frying, crisp frying, bread crumb frying, crisp frying, oil spraying and so on.

"cooked will be fried." Cooking is the change of frying, that is, first fry the pasted or non-pasted slices, shreds, blocks and segments with high-heat oil, leave a little base oil in the pot, add seasoning, and then stir fry quickly for a few times, then you can eat. Among them, the sauce used for cooking is generally clear juice (without thickening with starch), and it is best to wrap all the main ingredients in boiled juice. Cooking has the characteristics of tender outside and smooth inside, and mellow.

First, heat the pot, rinse the bottom of the pot with a little oil, then put the flat raw materials into the pot, and fry both sides of the raw materials with a little oil until golden brown and soft inside. The texture of cooking is similar to that of cooking. During the heating process, the raw materials all formed a hard and brittle surface layer, which kept the moisture and fresh flavor inside the raw materials and achieved the effect of being brittle outside and soft inside. However, the frying method uses less oil and generally does not drown the raw materials. Firepower is mainly medium and small fires, which are heated for a long time. When frying is combined with other cooking methods, it can be divided into dry frying, frying, steaming, stewing, frying (southern frying), rotten frying, soup frying and frying.

This method can also be used without hanging egg batter, which is basically the same as frying. It is characterized by a brown and crisp side, light and tender. The cooking methods of paste and frying are basically the same, except that after cooking, only one side is fried without turning over. The finished product is crispy on one side and soft on the other. Generally, two or more raw materials are pasted together, and most of them are pasted. When pasting, use a small fire, constantly shake the pan, and rub oil on the main ingredients to make the main ingredients evenly heated.

stew
Stewing evolved from roasting. After the main ingredients are fried, add appropriate amount of soup and seasoning, cover the pot tightly, and heat slowly for a long time until the main ingredients are crisp and rotten. Stewing is similar to burning, but the heating time is longer and the firepower is smaller, usually more than half an hour. We often use red-cooked chicken, duck, cow, pig, mutton and fish with tight and delicate texture. When raw materials are pre-cooked, blanching, frying, oil and other methods should be selected according to their properties. When stewing with a ceramic cooker, it should be sealed tightly, and sometimes even the seams of the lid should be pasted tightly with paper to keep the temperature in the pot constant and promote the crisp and rotten raw materials. Therefore, there is a saying that "ten rolls are better than one stew". Most stews have the characteristics of complete shape, crisp texture, mellow taste and thick soup. Stewing can make dishes crisp, juicy and thick. Braised in red, yellow, wine and oil.

Simmering is a cooking technique in which the processed raw materials are scalded with boiling water, a proper amount of soup and seasoning are added to the casserole, boiled with strong fire, covered after skimming the floating foam, and heated with low fire for a long time until the soup is thick and the raw materials are completely soft. The raw materials of stews are mostly pork, beef, mutton, wild ducks and geese with old texture and coarse fiber. When stewing soup, you should add enough water or a lot of soup at a time, not in the middle, and then heat it for a long time with low fire or low fire, which has the characteristics of white and thick soup color, fresh and mellow taste and rich soup width.

Similar to stewing, stewing is a long-term heating method, but it is different. First, the waste heat of fire is more used for cooking for a long time than stewing for a long time; Second, the simmered vegetable soup is wider and does not thicken. After the raw materials are boiled, they should be washed with clear water. After the raw materials are boiled, they should be moved to a small fire or simmered, and the soup should be kept in a boiling state, so that the soup can be clear and the raw materials are complete.

As a cooking term, "stew" refers to a cooking method in which food raw materials are added with soup and seasoning, first boiled with high fire, then turned to low heat and cooked for a long time. The finished dish has the characteristics of delicious soup, original flavor, complete shape and crispness. Stews generally use fresh, tough and connective tissue-rich raw materials. Rinse with clear water after blanching to remove blood stains, peculiar smell and floating foam, so as to ensure the clarity and mellow soup. The soup must be added all at once. When the fire boils, turn it down and keep it boiling, so as to maintain the original flavor and the integrity of raw materials. According to the color of the soup and whether ingredients are added, stews can be divided into clear stews and mixed stews, and the soup without ingredients is clear stews; Thick soup with ingredients is mixed stew. Waterproof steaming and stewing method is to put the raw materials to be stewed in a pottery vessel and seal them, and then put them in a water pot for stewing, which can keep the original fresh and fragrant taste of the raw materials to the maximum extent.

Draw into silk
The process of putting the oiled and prefabricated clinker into a pot filled with boiled syrup, stirring and heating, and uniformly wrapping a layer of sticky colloidal syrup to make dishes. The finished dish can be eaten while it is hot and dipped in another cold boiled water. Drawing method is mainly used to make sugar beet. It is one of the basic technologies of beet production in China, and it is also the most characteristic and influential typical technology in beet production. The key to its production is boiling syrup. This kind of syrup is not completely solidified, which can not only stick to the main ingredients, but also pull out slender sugar filaments, hence the name "drawing". After cooking, hold the main ingredient with chopsticks, pull out the shredded sugar, and then dip it in a bowl of cold boiled water. The syrup stuck on the surface of the main ingredient will solidify into a crystal clear, crisp and sweet thin shell, and the pulled shredded sugar will be wrapped around the thin shell, making the food unique in flavor. Especially when the table was just served, the customers picked up vegetables together, and the table was full of silk, and the whole table was lit up, adding a cheerful atmosphere and an active atmosphere to the banquet.

Frost hanging
Put the pretreated semi-finished products or clinker into a hot pot for boiling syrup, hang the syrup evenly, take it out and cool it quickly to frost the surface. The method of frosting is called "frying" and "sticking sugar" in some areas. Some people don't cook syrup because the technology of frosted vegetables is not easy to master, and only sprinkle powdered sugar on the main ingredients, just like frost. Its appearance and taste are far from the frosting products made of boiled sugar. Frosted vegetables are Bai Rushuang in color, elegant in shape and crisp and dry in taste. The difference between frosting and wire drawing is that frosting must be boiled in water, so that the dishes made are as white as snow. The approximate ratio of water to sugar is 1:2. After the pan is cleaned, pour water and sugar into the pan, turn on a small fire, boil the sugar into syrup, pour in raw materials (such as peanuts fried in advance) when it begins to bubble intensively, quickly stir it into a snow-white anti-sand shape, and then cool it off the fire and plate it. It's not only easy to do this, but also you don't have to worry about sugar paste.
