Green pepper and red pepper, which one to buy? If you don’t know, don’t use it indiscriminately, the chef will teach you the difference, the dishes taste more fragrant. I like to eat pepper. The Sichuan Basin is very humid due to geographical environmental factors, so people often eat pepper to dispel dampness. So Sichuan people like spicy and spicy flavor, and anyone who has been to Sichuan knows that spicy flavor occupies the main part of Sichuan cuisine.
The humidity in the south is relatively heavy, and we should also eat pepper, which can remove dampness and poison and is good for the body. The hemp of pepper is different from the spicy of chili. Sichuan people prefer the combination of spicy and spicy. But not spicy, it does not affect our eating pepper, the smell of hemp is very comfortable, you can add some pepper when cooking and stewing meat, especially stewed lamb, adding a little pepper can also remove the smell. Hemp is not a taste, it should be a painful response. Hemp fills the mouth and makes people very comfortable. Therefore, the more Sichuanese people eat, the more addicted they are.
The peppercorns seen on the market come in two colors, one is green pepper, and the other is red pepper. The two colors are different and the degree of numbness is also different. But in fact, there is no essential difference between them. Red pepper is sun-dried green and red pepper, green pepper is fresh pepper, and red pepper is sun-dried. It is convenient to store for a long time after drying, but the numbness of pepper is relatively weak after drying.
When adjusting dumpling filling, usually add pepper water to the meat filling, this pepper water is soaked with red pepper. The numb taste of red pepper is not too strong, just to remove the fishy smell of pork. If you use green pepper, the taste is too strong. When we eat it, we will feel a heavy numb taste, which completely covers up the umami taste of the meat.
The flavor of green pepper is much richer than red pepper, and it is more durable, so it is not suitable to add green pepper when making meat filling. When we make sauerkraut fish, rattan pepper chicken and other dishes, we can use green pepper, the numb flavor fills the mouth and will not dissipate for a long time.
Therefore, red pepper is more suitable for meat filling, stewing and stir-frying. When frying pepper oil, green pepper is generally used. The fried pepper oil is particularly fragrant. Don't waste the fried pepper grains. You can continue to use it after drying.
When buying red pepper, you must learn to choose it like this:
1. Look at the color, the color of good pepper is reddish brown.
2. Look at the shape. A good pepper does not have too many seeds. The opening is larger and the weight is heavier.
3. Smell the smell, good pepper has a strong flavor, and it smells like a tingling feeling.
4. Soak in water. If the color of the water turns red after the pepper is soaked in water, it means that the quality of the pepper is not good, and it may be dyed. Generally, it is brownish red.
5. Knead it by hand, and crush the good pepper.
