How to Make Delicious Fried Dough Sticks? Chef Teaches You an Alternative Method, Crispy and Delicious
Let's talk about fried dough sticks. I'm sure many of you are familiar with them, and most people have probably eaten them, especially when having breakfast. They are a must-have on the table, with a crispy exterior and a tender interior, and the flavor becomes richer with every chew. Especially in northern areas where noodles are the main dish, you can almost see them on almost every street and alley. The reason they are so famous is not only for their taste, but also because they are one of the oldest kinds of noodles. After frying, the aroma is not just fragrant, it must also be fragrant throughout the room.
At this time, I'm sure many people are curious, so how should they be made? In fact, making dough sticks is just two steps. The first step is to make the dough, and it needs to be made well and successfully fermented. The second step is to heat the oil. Controlling the oil temperature is quite critical. It’s best to put a dough stick in to test it, and it will expand in about three seconds. That’s when it’s ready.
Now, let's move on. Today, I'm going to share the specific steps and details of making fried dough sticks. I will express it in the simplest and most understandable words, so everyone can understand and understand. Let's follow me to see.
Ingredients
Main ingredients: 500 grams of low-gluten flour
Accessories: 15 pieces of Sichuan peppercorns, 3 grams of salt, 3 eggs, 4 grams of baking powder, 10 grams of fennel
Steps to make fried dough sticks
Step 1,First, light the stove and dry the pot. Place 10 grams of fennel in the wok and cook over low heat until the aroma comes out (this process takes about one minute). Then, pour out the fennel and grind it into powder (the finer, the better, and the best flavor is when you can't see the fennel pieces when you bite it).
Step 2,Next, directly rub the Sichuan peppercorns into fine powder (also the finer, the better). Then put them together with the ground fennel, and add them to the dough basin. Then add flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, fennel and fragrance powder together, and mix well.
Step 3,Next, use milk to slowly add it (add it in batches, which can better control the amount of water for the flour), and make the flour into a flour slurry. Then add a little mature oil to the basin (the purpose of adding mature oil is to prevent the dough from sticking to the pot in the future, and to make it have a better shape), and knead the flour into a smooth dough.
Step 4,Place the kneaded dough in a temperate place to ferment. The fermentation time must be no less than two hours. When you poke a finger into it, there are honeycomb holes, and the dough area is twice as big as before, that's when the dough has fermented well.
Step 5,Brush oil on the board, spread the fermented dough into a slice, and then cut it into two-centimeter-wide, ten-centimeter-long strips. Put two dough sticks on top of each other and press them with a chopstick (don't press too hard, or it will be difficult to expand later). Finally, put them into 60% hot oil temperature for frying. When the dough sticks are golden and obviously expanded, you can take them out and eat them, which is very fragrant and delicious.
Summary of fried dough sticks
After following these steps, I believe many people have a deeper understanding of how to make dough sticks. As dough sticks are one of the oldest kinds of noodles, their practice has not been just one kind today, but the practice I shared this time is quite peculiar. Even my family would be curious to see me put in bay leaves. In fact, the dough stick steps I shared contain the same steps as general practice, except for the addition of small fennel. It's said that when it comes out of the pot, it will be even more fragrant and more delicious than without adding small fennel, because small fennel is not only a seasoning, but also has a great effect on fragrance.
Now this delicious fried dough stick is made. Do you think this sharing is good? Please follow and like! (The article was originally written by the author, please do not copy and paste)
