The treatment method of the cauliflower in the restaurant is generally over-oiled, which can make the cauliflower fragrant and crispy, but the over-oiling is generally not suitable for home operation, why do you say so? Too much oil is used, the fried oil inevitably has impurities, it needs to be processed twice, and then the amount of oil required for fried food is more, and it needs to be stored in another container at home after use, which is too troublesome, so the home operation can replace the frying with other methods.
In fact, as long as it is not overcooked, the crisp taste of the cauliflower itself is still there, so why is it overcooked? Many friends feel that cauliflower is difficult to cook, and it will be blanched before stir-frying, and after blanching, water will be added and boiled again when cooking twice, and the cauliflower will definitely not taste good, and there is a strange taste, so can you not blanch the cauliflower? No, home cooking can not be too oily, in order to be able to quickly get out of the pot when cooking, the cauliflower is to be blanched, but the time and method of blanching are particular, the cauliflower blanching water should be boiled in the pot, stir it a little after the pot, see the cauliflower change color, about 15 seconds or so, it will be out of the pot, put it in cold water to cool down, so as to better ensure the crisp taste of the cauliflower;
The cooking method after blanching is stir-fried, the blanched cauliflower has more water, there is no need to add water when stir-frying, the water on the surface of the cauliflower will be fried dry, so that the cauliflower is more flavorful, and the taste is more crisp, and the time for stir-frying should be short, not too long, the blanched cauliflower is easier to fry, and the spicy cauliflower shared with you today is the blanching and stir-fry method shared above, the taste and the dry pot cauliflower of the restaurant have a fight, friends who like it can try!
