Is the pepper in water as spicy as the pepper in oil?

Peppercorns are also a common condiment, and their biggest feature is their spicy taste. There are many ways to process Sichuan peppercorns. Sichuan peppercorns give people the feeling of promoting appetite and making people unable to stop. Sichuan peppercorns can be processed with water or made into Sichuan peppercorns with oil, which are both common methods. They are characterized by spicy and fresh flavor. Sichuan peppercorns can be used to make Sichuan peppercorn chicken or other delicious dishes. Let us learn about this aspect.

How to make pepper the most spicy

1. Put the peppercorns in hot oil and sauté until fragrant, then discard the fried peppercorns and use the remaining peppercorn oil to cook vegetables. It is fragrant and spicy, and you won't eat the peppercorns when eating the vegetables. Pay attention to controlling the oil temperature, otherwise the oil will turn black and bitter!

2. Processing method of peppercorns: Put fresh peppercorns in a pan and dry them. The fire must be low to prevent the pan from burning. The aroma of the peppercorns comes out when they are roasted. It is best to crush it with your fingers. Don't over-dry the roast. Let cool, crush it with a rolling pin, and put it in a well-sealed bottle for later use. Sprinkle it in when the dish is almost out of the pot, it is fragrant and spicy.

4. From my personal experience, peppercorns are very spicy in nature, and are very different from Sichuan peppercorns. Peppercorns are widely used in Sichuan cuisine, such as Mapo Tofu, Boiled Pork Slices, and Gele Mountain Chicken. When cooking, first add oil over low heat and fry the peppercorns until fragrant (if you like spicy food, you can fry them with garlic). It is recommended not to fry them until they are black, as this will make them look bad. If it turns black when fried, you can use a colander to scoop it out. If you like it a little more spicy, put more, usually about 20 pieces will be enough. If you want to make a dish with soup, you can go to the market and buy a pack of Sichuan hot pot base and stir-fry them together. It guarantees that the taste will be great, fragrant, numbing and spicy. You can also make some pepper oil (put the pepper in a small bowl, heat the oil, pour the oil into the bowl, and wait for the oil to cool down)
