Xu Zhuo nodded: "Not only can you make jerky, but all dried fruits and vegetables can be made, which is very convenient." ”

When the little girl heard this, she immediately asked, "Can you also make potato chips?"

This question made Xu Zhuo a little overwhelmed.

This machine can indeed make potato chips, but if you use this machine to make it, how can you show your own frying skills?

He thought for a while and said, "It can indeed be made, but the taste is not as good as fried, if you want to eat it in the future, we can also try it." You go out to help Zheng Jia first, and I'll study the use of this thing. ”

For the sake of safety, it is better to let the little girl leave.

Save yourself from popping up other problems and messing up your own plans.

After the little girl left, Xu Zhuo wiped the inside of the machine carefully.

I also washed the stainless steel mesh inside.

This thing has a total of 12 layers, and it can dry dozens of catties of fruits and vegetables at a time, which is very convenient to use.

After doing this, Xu Zhuo began to prepare the ingredients that needed to be dried.

The first is onions.

This is the main source of the scent of green onions.

He brought a dozen purple-skinned onions from the utility room.

Peel and wash and shred the onion.

Then pull out the stainless steel shelves of the two-layer dryer and pounce the onion shreds evenly on top.

Garlic is easy to do, and the first thing the cooks do when they go to work in the morning is to peel the garlic.

Now there are more than half a basket of garlic cloves in the basket.

Xu Zhuo took out a few catties from it, cleaned it and began to cut it.

Cut off the garlic stalks first, then cut the garlic from the middle.

After cutting, take out the two layers of stainless steel shelves and put the chopped garlic on top of it.

Then Xu Zhuo washed a dozen tomatoes, cut them into half-centimeter slices, and also placed them on the stainless steel shelves.

There are so many ingredients that need to be dried, and as for the spices of pepper, salt and spicy flavor, Xu Zhuo is more accustomed to making them in a pot.

Not to mention salt and pepper, the first flavor type that Xu Zhuo mastered was salt and pepper flavor.

As for the spicy taste, it's even simpler.

The knife-edge chili pepper in Sichuan cuisine is the most typical spicy flavor, and it is an excellent partner with potato chips.

Next, Xu Zhuo stuffed all these shelves into the dryer.

Then plug in the power, set the temperature, and the dryer will start working.

Next, Xu Zhuo will be busy with whatever he should be busy.

The dryer is relatively slow, and it is estimated that it will be dark after all the dries.

So it's not too late to wait until the evening to start making potato chips.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Zhuo was idle, so he fried some pepper and salt, and then fried some salt that needed to be mixed with garlic powder and green onion powder.

After the salt is stir-fried, it will have a faint salty aroma.

When stir-frying salt, you should put a star anise and a few peppercorns in the pot, so that the fried salt has a spice fragrance and tastes better.

After the fried salt and pepper cooled, Xu Zhuo used a food processor to grind the salt and pepper into powder and put it in a seasoning jar.

This spice jar was bought when Xu Zhuo went to buy a dryer, and it has fine sprinkling holes on it, which is very suitable for sprinkling seasoning on potato chips.

In order to make it easier to distinguish, Xu Zhuo also pasted a note with the words "salt and pepper" on the spice jar.

After the salt and pepper were ready, Xu Zhuo began to fry the chili peppers.

Generally, when frying knife-edge chili peppers, chefs will add some oil to the pot to make it easier to stir-fry.

But today, because it has to be ground into fine powder, you can't put oil when frying the knife-edge chili.

In addition, when stir-frying, you have to sprinkle some salt into it to make the pepper taste better.

Considering that everyone is not very enthusiastic about hemp flavor, Xu Zhuo deliberately reduced the amount of Sichuan pepper when stir-frying.

After frying, let it cool, and also grind it with a grinder until finely minced.

In this way, the spicy seasoning is also ready.

The two condiments were in hand, and Xu Zhuo was just about to rest for a while, when Feng Weiguo suddenly came over.

"Little clumsy, aren't you going to get some cumin powder?"

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

He didn't like cumin very much, and the little girl didn't say it.

So I didn't plan to prepare.

Xu Zhuo didn't understand why this old man suddenly came over and said cumin powder, after thinking about it, he looked at Feng Weiguo and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Feng Weiguo nodded heavily, a little excited.

This child finally knows how to respect the old and love the young, it's not easy.

As a result, Boss Xu gave him a sentence: "If you want to eat, you can make it yourself, if you don't know how to use a grinder, I will help you grind, as long as you fry the cumin." ”

Feng Weiguo pouted helplessly.

This kid is becoming more and more like Brother Xu.

It's not that Xu Zhuo is indifferent, the main thing is that he really doesn't know how to make cumin powder.

It is sold in the supermarket, but Xu Zhuo has never bought that kind of cumin powder.

If you want this thing to be delicious, it's better to make it yourself.

Xu Zhuo saw that Feng Weiguo really planned to do it himself, so he leaned over.

"Is cumin powder easy to make?"

Since he wants to do it, let's just follow along.

Feng Weiguo said while preparing the materials: "It's very simple, just dry the ingredients in a pot and grind them into powder." You can choose to add salt or no salt, and other spices can be put a little, not too much, too much will take away the taste of cumin. ”

It is said to be simple, but after actually doing it, Xu Zhuo found that it was difficult.

Cumin grains are too easy to paste.

The temperature in the pot is slightly too high, and the original blue cumin grains quickly change color.

If Feng Weiguo hadn't been so experienced that he quickly removed the pot from the stove, it was estimated that half of the cumin grains in the pot would have been pasted.

In addition to the heat, the steps of making cumin powder are really not troublesome.

First put salt in the pot, then put a few peppercorns and star anise, then put two bay leaves, stir-fry over low heat for two minutes, and then pour in the cumin grains.

After the cumin grains gradually change color, the cumin powder is done.

After cooling, it is ground into powder, and this cumin powder with salt is done.

Now that the three seasonings have been prepared, Xu Zhuo took a look at the dryer, and the vegetables inside had become dry on the outside, but they were still a little soft on the inside.

It is estimated that it will take more than two hours to dry completely.

Idle, Xu Zhuo planned to cut the potato slices first.

Potato chips are the main ingredient in making potato chips, and if you want potato chips to be delicious, you need to put more effort into cutting potato chips and try to cut them thinner.

And not only to cut thinly, but also evenly.

If the thickness is uneven, it is easy to have the embarrassing phenomenon that the existing paste has been fried, and some have not been blown through.

Of course, if you are not confident in the knife work, you can also use the tool of slicing.

For example, the multi-functional filament grater has this kind of blade that specializes in scraping thin sheets.

It can scrape out thin slices that are the envy of chefs.

But for Boss Xu, it's not necessary.

His knife skills are already proficient, and the cut in the knife work has reached the boutique level, which is much better than that of ordinary chefs.

Therefore, cutting thin slices has no pressure at all for Boss Xu.

Cutting evenly is no problem.

Peel the potatoes first and wash them again.

Then Xu Zhuo took the slicing knife and began to cut the potato slices.

(If you make it at home, the spice step can be ignored, and I wrote it out mainly to appear forced)
