Speaking of various folk snacks, we have to mention salted duck eggs. Good salted duck eggs, the egg whites are refreshing and the yolks are oily. Especially when eating breakfast, is matched with a bowl of hot soy milk, with the fragrant and oily salted duck eggs, and a mouthful of hot steamed buns, It is the best match for early. But many people don't know how to make it. The salted duck eggs bought from outside are not only high in price, but also uneven in quality, so I am always envious of seeing the red oil and translucent salted duck eggs made by the aunt next door. In fact, the method of salted duck eggs is very simple, the key is to know the principle of oil production. How did the red oil of salted duck eggs come from? 5 simple steps, teach you to make "salted duck eggs in red oil".
is easy for everyone to understand, the following is divided into three parts to introduce: 1. How does the red oil in the salted duck egg come out? 2. Know the principle, just a few simple steps to make oily salted duck eggs. 3. The final summary.
One, how did the red oil in the salted duck eggs come out?
Regardless of the ingredients, as long as it can produce oil, must have fat in it , duck eggs are no exception. The general situation is like this. The egg yolks seem to be "yellow", but in fact there are two substances: protein and fat. The characteristic of protein is that it can dilute and dissolve the surrounding fat, so the duck egg yolk that you usually see There is no oil.
But if solidifies the protein by salting , its diluting fat will disappear. As a result, the fat in the egg yolk will permeate out and form oil Red, translucent red oil . This red oil is not only beautiful in color, but the key is that it has the unique oil fragrance of egg yolk fat, which can very arouse people's appetite. Therefore, the success of the salted duck eggs is mainly based on the amount of red oil. Knowing this principle will make it easy to do it.
Second, know the principle, just a few simple steps to make oily salted duck eggs
1, food preparation : fresh duck eggs Several pieces, a bottle of high-quality liquor, appropriate amount of coarse salt, and appropriate amount of plastic wrap. Wash the duck eggs with clean water, and then put it under the sun to dry . You must pay attention to this step. What is the reason? As far as the pickled ingredients, whether it is pickled sauerkraut or the salted duck eggs here, is most afraid of encountering raw water during the pickling process. You should all know about this? When it comes to raw water, it will easily cause the ingredients to deteriorate. So, you must have a good exposure in the sun.
2, soak fresh duck eggs in wine. First of all, the wine must use height white wine , the editor here uses 52° Erguotou. Why is wine used here, and it is still a high-grade liquor? The reason is the same as above. Pickled fresh duck eggs are afraid to see raw water, which will easily cause duck eggs to deteriorate. Here, high liquor is also used for this purpose. The function of high liquor is to further sterilize and prevent duck eggs from deteriorating during the curing process. But here is one point to emphasize, many people don't understand this principle, directly soak the duck eggs in wine for a long time, which is wrong, and directly causes the marinated duck eggs to become bitter . The role of the wine here is disinfection , just soak it out.
3, coat the duck eggs with a layer of salt. Here is the point. The principle of red oil from fresh duck eggs that we mentioned earlier is to use salt to solidify the protein in the yolk, so that the oil can be produced. Theoretically speaking, is of course a little more salt, and the marinating time is a little longer, so that the protein coagulates harderInjury, the egg yolk will naturally produce more oil. The editor here recommends that you use 粗盐 to take advantage of the viscosity of the wine and roll it in salt a few times.
4, use plastic wrap to firm each duck egg bun, then put it in a plastic bag and marinate it. The method we used here is different from the older people's marinating method. After all, marinating with a vat takes up space and has to put a lot of duck eggs at a time, which is unrealistic for ordinary families. Why do older people use a jar to pickle it? As mentioned above, the main purpose is to isolate the air. puts concentrated brine in the tank (here refers to the concentrated brine, not raw water, the concentrated brine in the tank is also afraid of raw water entering), can be the largest Isolate the air to a limit to prevent the duck eggs from deteriorating . Here, the duck eggs are wrapped in plastic wrap, and the principle is the same, so when wrapping it must be tight, try to squeeze out the gas in the plastic wrap.
5, wrap the duck eggs in plastic wrap, and then expose them to the sun. At this step, can I put it up and marinate? It doesn't work. At this time, put the duck egg wrapped in plastic wrap in the sun, at least half a day , what is the purpose? 有三点: First, through the sunlight, can exhaust the air in the cling film to the greatest extent ; second, further sterilization ; third, makes the salt particles adhere more tightly on the skin of duck eggs, the pickling effect is better. After drying, you can put the duck eggs in a plastic bag, tie them tightly and put them in the shade of the house. 30天约 can be taken out and eaten. As mentioned above, the longer the marinating time, the more oil will be produced, so don’t believe that some people say that you can eat in 10 days . The longer the time, the more oil is produced. In order to remember the time conveniently, a label can be affixed to the outside of the plastic bag, record the pickling time .
Three, the final summary
I have said so much above, in order to make it easier for everyone to remember, here is a summary: 1. Pickled fresh duck eggs The principle of oil flow and no deterioration should be remembered, is salt, and air is isolated . 2. After cleaning the duck eggs, must be dried , and must be dried after wrapping the plastic wrap. 3. The wine must be 高酒, do not soak in the wine for a long time, just stick to the wine. 4. The salt is best to use Coarse Salt . 5. Do not open it in advance, the longer the marinated , the better . 6, the last point is tell Xiaobai’s , the salted duck eggs are not eaten raw, they must be cooked in a pot before they are marinated.
