Breadcrumbs are a very common ingredient in home kitchens and are generally used on the surface of some fried foods. We often see some fried foods that are golden and golden, especially gluttonous, such as chicken cutlets, chicken wings, chicken thighs or fish, etc., wrapped in a layer of breadcrumbs, and after being fried, they show a crispy effect on the outside and crispy inside, the food is particularly fluffy, the taste is crispy and soft, and the nutrition is very rich, and the food is not easy to dry and hard after cooling.
The use rate of breadcrumbs is not particularly high, and it is very expensive to spend money to buy, and it is a waste to use it for a long time and do not want to use it. Today, I will share with you a little trick of homemade breadcrumbs, which can be made at any time, without any waste, and it is made with leftover ingredients in our family kitchen, which is really a double win, and there is no need to spend money to buy, it is very simple and convenient to make, and it does not take a few minutes.
Let's share the process of making these two types of breadcrumbs.

1. The ingredients are: 2 remaining steamed buns, an appropriate amount of sugar, and an appropriate amount of boiling water.
Second, start production
——[White Homemade Breadcrumbs]——
Step 1: Take a leftover steamed bun and cut it into evenly sized cubes. Try to cut it smaller.
Step 2: Heat the wok slightly, put in the chopped steamed bread grains, then turn off the heat to low heat, be patient, slowly stir-fry the steamed bread grains, so as not to burn the paste. Stir-fry the water in the steamed buns until they are dry. The picture below is the state of steamed bread after the water is fried and dried.
Step 3: Put the fried steamed buns into a blender and grind them into a fine powder.
Step 4: Remove the ground white breadcrumbs from the blender, let cool and place them in an airtight container or grocery bag.

Step 1: If the steamed bun is not particularly dry and hard, we knead it into fine granules by hand. I especially like this method of production, which is easier and more convenient.
Step 2: Turn on the heat, heat the wok slightly, pour in the steamed bread granules, turn off the low heat, start to stir-fry slowly a few times, wait for the steamed bread granules to be heated evenly, put a spoonful of sugar into the wok, and then stir-fry until even. We can also use an appropriate amount of boiling water to melt the sugar, and pour it along the edge of the pot, the sugar is especially easy to make the steamed bread color.
Step 3: At this time, pour 2 tablespoons of boiling water into the wok along the edge of the pan and stir quickly. Then turn on medium-low heat and stir-fry, and everyone will find that the steamed buns will turn yellow. Remember to stir-fry constantly to avoid burnt steamed buns.
Step 4: Turn off the heat after the water in the steamed bread is dry, then remove from the heat and pour out the fried steamed bread particles from the wok, so as not to continue to color the steamed bread due to the residual temperature in the pan, causing the steamed bread to burn. Let cool and transfer to an airtight container or food bag to avoid moisture regain.
The above is the whole process of our homemade breadcrumbs from leftover steamed buns at home. It's so easy to make, and it's almost cost-free, it's sealed and packed after it's made, and you can use it directly when you want to fry chicken cutlets, chicken wings, chicken thighs, or fish. If you like it, you might as well try to make it with the leftover steamed buns at home, and you don't have to pay for it.
